The UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has rejected Armenia’s assertions regarding the case of Ruben Vardanyan, affirming that his detention by Azerbaijan is based on serious criminal charges rather than political motives.
In its assessment, the Working Group dismissed claims that Vardanyan had been arrested due to his political activities or freedom of expression. Instead, it highlighted that he is facing charges linked to multiple deaths, large-scale property destruction, the financing of terrorism, and the formation of illegal armed groups.
The report further refuted allegations that his right to a fair trial had been violated, stating that his detention was based on reasonable suspicions and that Azerbaijan had acted in accordance with international legal standards. It also underscored that freedom of expression and association are not absolute rights and may be restricted in the interests of national security and public order.
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry welcomed the ruling, asserting that it disproves Armenia’s claims and exposes its alleged attempts to manipulate international legal norms.
