EU representative called the actions of Russian security forces in Yekaterinburg inhumane

I am deeply concerned about reports of violence, torture, and inhumane treatment by Russian security forces against Azerbaijanis in the Russian Federation, which has led, among other things, to loss of life.

The head of the European Union (EU) representation in Azerbaijan, Peter Michalko, shared the corresponding publication on the social network X.

"My thoughts are with the victims and their families," added the EU representative.

Recall that on the morning of June 27, the Russian FSB raided the homes of Azerbaijanis in Yekaterinburg. During the raid, two people were killed and several others were seriously injured.

I am deeply concerned by the reports of violence, torture and inhuman treatment against ethnic Azerbaijanis in Russia, leading even to deaths, committed by Russian security forces. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
