Azerbaijan locks up Armenian POWs with lengthy prison terms

As a result of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, both Armenia and Azerbaijan captured soldiers from the opposing sides. The November 9 ceasefire agreement which ended the war, explicitly calls for the release of all POWs. Since then, Armenia has released all Azerbaijani POWs, while Azerbaijan still holds what Armenian officials and human rights attorneys say is almost 200 people, including soldiers and civilians. Now, Azerbaijani courts are handing hefty prison sentences to the Armenian POWs, effectively breaking the ceasefire agreement.
