A repatriated Armenian who died several weeks after being freed by
Azerbaijan had been subjected to torture while in captivity, the
Armenian police said, citing the results of a relevant examination.
Thus, according to a report, the examination of Mamikon Khojoyan’s
body revealed signs of petroleum products and psychotropic substances
that had been injected into him.
Khojoyan, 77, died on May 20, two and a half months after being
released by Azerbaijan. The resident of the village of Verin
Karmiraghbyur in Armenia’s Tavush province was taken prisoner by
Azerbaijani troops on January 28 after apparently losing his way in
the borderland zone. The man, who suffered from a mental disorder,
however, was presented as an Armenian ‘saboteur’.
After Khojoyan’s return his family suspected that in Azerbaijan they
injected diesel fuel into him.
