Armenian Genocide, The 20 Martyrs,1915

The 20 Hunchakian gallows (The 20 Martyrs) refers to the group of Hunchakian activists who were hanged during the Armenian Genocide. After spending two years in terrible conditions in Ottoman prisons, and undergoing lengthy mock trials, twenty prominent figures were sentenced to death by hanging. A few weeks after the beginning of the Armenian Genocide on June 15, 1915, all twenty men were hanged in the central square of Constantinople, known as Sultan Bayazid Square. The Armenian Genocide was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians, mostly citizens within the Ottoman Empire. The genocide was carried out during and after WWI and implemented in two phases: the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labor, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian Desert. The deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre. No photographer credited, 1915.

Título:
Armenian Genocide, The 20 Martyrs,1915
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Los 20 Hunchakian horca (Los 20 Mártires) se refiere al grupo de activistas Hunchakian que fueron ahorcados durante el Genocidio Armenio. Después de pasar dos años en condiciones terribles en prisiones otomanas y de someterse a largos juicios simulados, veinte figuras destacadas fueron condenadas a muerte en la horca. Unas semanas después del comienzo del genocidio armenio el 15 de junio de 1915, los veinte hombres fueron ahorcados en la plaza central de Constantinopla, conocida como Plaza del Sultán Bayazid. El genocidio armenio fue el exterminio sistemático por parte del gobierno otomano de 1,5 millones de armenios, en su mayoría ciudadanos del Imperio Otomano. El genocidio se llevó a cabo durante y después de la Primera Guerra Mundial y se implementó en dos fases: la matanza total de la población masculina sana mediante masacres y el sometimiento de reclutas del ejército a trabajos forzados, seguida de la deportación de mujeres, niños, ancianos y enfermos en las marchas de la muerte que conducen al desierto sirio. Los deportados fueron privados de comida y agua y sometidos a robos, violaciones y masacres periódicos. Ningún fotógrafo acreditado, 1915
