> “Prior to the Military Prosecutor’s Office’s investigation, physical violence, as well as very serious measures, were carried out against individuals suspected of high treason. As a result, one person died before we started the criminal case,” Valiyev said. “Illlegal torture of military personnel was carried out on a large scale.”

Azerbaijan is a member of the Council of Europe and signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights.
anca should denounce azerbaijani torture camp in occupied cuba
Widespread torture
No shit. There were reports of that mere weeks after the war.
It’s bittersweet that it finally comes to light however.
