The Azerbaijani Prosecutor General’s Office sent the case of Ruben Vardanyan for trial

Materials of the criminal case against Ruben Vardanyan were sent to the Baku Military Court. The press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan reported that “investigation” in the case had been completed.

Ruben Vardanyan was charged with 20 articles of the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan. Life imprisonment is the maximum possible term for them. At the same time, Ruben Vardanyan has already spent 15 months in the Baku Pre-Trial Detention Center.

Let us remember that Ruben Vardanyan held the office of State Minister of Artsakh for only three months: in this post he solved problems of local residents. Due to these activities, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in the spring for preventing a humanitarian catastrophe in the region.

In the Baku Pre-Trial Detention Center, Ruben Vardanyan is not allowed to meet with lawyers hired by his family, and “independent doctors” are also not allowed to visit him. Over the past six months, the social entrepreneur has sent many letters, but none of them reached the addressee. Azerbaijan will strive to hold the trial in the most closed regime, not allowing well-known human rights activists, media representatives and independent observers to attend it.
