Coordinator of the Nagorny Karabakh Committee Helsinki Initiative 92 (HI-92) Karen Ohanjanyan and Executive Officers of HI-92 Svetlana Jhangiryan visited the imprisoned Azerbaijani saboteur Shahbaz Gulyev at the Stepanakert Republican Hospital after he underwent surgery. Gulyev suffered from chronic cholecystitis.
The Azerbaijani citizen is in good condition now. "Guliyev thanked all those who rendered him medical assistance. At our last meeting with the imprisoned Shahbaz Guliyev we recommended the NKR authorities to ensure specialized medical examination for Guliyev. The Committee expressed gratitude to the NKR authorities for humane attitude to the defendant," the human rights organization said in a statement.
To recall, the Stepanakert General Court sentenced Askerov and Gulyev to life imprisonment and 20 years in prison for illegal crossing of the state border and committing sabotage attacks and vicious murders, respectively.
