More than 150 of them remain missing.

Memorial, a Russian human rights group, reported that scores of the corpses bore traces of profanation. Doctors on a hospital train in Agdam noted no less than four corpses that had been scalped and one that had been beheaded. ... and one case of live scalping An international condemnation of the massacre, appropriate punishment for its ideologues, organizers and executors is an important condition for ensuring that such acts of brutality, crimes against humanity as a whole, do not happen again, said the ex President of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev.
