Protesters outside UN office demand release of Armenian prisoners in Baku

Protesters gathered outside the UN office in Yerevan on Friday to demand the immediate release of Armenian prisoners of war and Artsakh’s leaders illegally detained in Azerbaijan ahead of COP29.

More protests are planned outside the Armenian Foreign Ministry, the French, Russian and US Embassies in Yerevan later on Friday.

The protests are part of a wider campaign aimed at pressuring Azerbaijan to comply with international humanitarian law and release Armenian prisoners.
