Luis Moreno Ocampo to arrive in Yerevan

Luis Moreno Ocampo to arrive in Yerevan

ArmInfo. Luis Moreno Ocampo, the former prosecutor at the International Criminal Court,  will arrive in Armenia on September 13. 

"Dear friends, 

"Despite all the challenges we face, we have rights that are worth  fighting for. One of these rights is the right to seek justice and  truth. It is our right to work towards the release of the Armenian  hostages who are being held by the Azerbaijani regime. We can do this  even as we approach the environmental summit in Baku, which is set to  take place in the near future.

"The 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework  Convention on Climate Change (COP29), scheduled to take place in  Azerbaijan in November of this year, offers a unique chance to shed  light on the human rights violations perpetrated by the Aliyev  regime. 

"In a country where the rule of law is disregarded and where a  dictatorial government arbitrarily detains individuals for political  reasons, hosting an organization conference that champions the ideals  of peace and security seems inappropriate.

"The appeal is dedicated to Luis Moreno Ocampo, the former prosecutor  at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. On September 13, he  will hold an open public meeting in Yerevan and discuss the necessary  steps to secure the release of Armenian prisoners currently detained  in Baku.

"We urge you to support the idea of a civil movement that tackles  hypocrisy. Thanks to our efforts, we can unite the world Armenian  community and initiate a global campaign on social media and in the  media. 

"A public meeting with Luis Moreno Ocampo will take place on  September 13 at 18:30 at the IBIS Hotel in Yerevan.

"The moderator of the meeting will be Mark Grigoryan.

"Everyone can take part by pre-registering here:  https://forms.gle/Bz7NUdLRbaa7NkMPA," reads a Facebook post by the  Free Armenian Hostages initiative.
