The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) ensured an independent medical examination of Ruben Vardanyan during its latest visit to Armenian prisoners held in Baku, ICRC Armenia Communications and Prevention Manager Zara Amatuni said on Monday.
At a meeting with protesters outside the ICRC Yerevan office, she revealed that the Red Cross delegates, who met with Armenian prisoners in Baku in February, included a foreign national doctor.
“During the visit, the medical personnel performed an independent medical examination of the person on hunger strike,” Amatuni said.
The ICRC official emphasized that the details of the meetings, including any findings, are not disclosed to the public, prisoners’ families or Armenian authorities.
