Artsakh Human Rights Defender Gegham Stepanyan has published an updated version of its report on the cases of the killing of civilians in Artsakh by the Azerbaijani military.

According to data collected as of September 27, 2021, the identities of 80 civilians killed by the Azerbaijani armed forces were discovered. 42 civilians were killed from long-range strikes by the Azerbaijani armed forces, including rocket-propelled grenades, shelling, bombardment, and sabotage by subversive groups.

38 civilians were killed in captivity or at least under the control of Azerbaijan from physical violence, stabbing, beheading, close-range shooting, and other direct means.

Of the 80 civilian victims, 68 were men and 12, women. 52 civilians were killed at their place of residence, 15 in public places, 11 at their place of work, and one in an Azerbaijani prison. The majority were people over 63 years old.

The Human Rights Ombudsman also recorded the cases of 163 civilian injuries, most of which resulted from strikes that resulted in the deaths of others. The fate of two dozen civilians from the territories occupied by Azerbaijan remains unknown.

The report was prepared in a closed and public version. The closed report adds many photos of the victims before and after their deaths. The public report was prepared without photos, considering the cruel and sensitive images in them.

The closed version of the report has been sent to the relevant international organizations. The public version is available at the following link.
