Lifer starts hunger strike: Mother requests a review of the case

Lifer Aren Zatikyan started a hunger strike last week. Aren’s mother Alla Martirosyan today came to the Prosecutor General's Office from Agarak region to request a review of her son’s case. However, the woman received a negative response. “The only thing that I can do for my son is to start my own investigation, find the killer and bring him here,” says the desperate mother. She calls attention to the fact that the case investigator Babken Martonyan was brought to court for a year later for distorting the evidence. “Let them appoint a new investigator to study the case,” she said. Aren Zatikyan was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2008. The mother says her son did not plead guilty during the trial, besides, the fingerprints found in the taxi whose driver had been murdered, did not coincide with those of his son’s.
