Footages of Kalbajar hostages submitted to ECHR

"We submitted all the documents and footages to the European Court of Human Rights proving what brutal tortures Dilgam Asgarov and Shahbaz Guliyev endured", Chairman of the Bar Association Anar Bagirov told reporters. 

"I hope we will get a response from the ECHR in upcoming months. Our hostages should be released and the ECHR should recognize their rights", Anar Baghirov added. 

Note, in July of 2014, Russian citizen Dilgam Asgarov and Azerbaijani citizen Shahbaz Guliyev were taken hostage and another Azerbaijani citizen Hasan Hasanov was shot to death by Armenian servicemen while trying to visit their homeland in Kalbajar. Hasan Hasanov’s body was taken from the enemy and buried in Baku.

On December 19, 2014, an illegal court of the separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh sentenced Dilgam Asgarov to life in prison and Shahbaz Guliyev to 22 years.
