An Armenian prisoner of war detained in Azerbaijan has appealed to the international community over alleged violations of his rights during trial in Baku, according to The Armenian Report.
David Babayan, a spokesman for Armenian interests, said appeal letters from the detainee have disappeared while in Azerbaijani custody, raising concerns about access to legal representation.
The case highlights ongoing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan over treatment of war prisoners. International observers have expressed concern about the fate of POWs held following the 2020 war.
