Karapet Badalyan, one of the lawyers of Gevorg Safaryan, one of the arrested members of the Founding Parliament opposition movement, visited him in prison, the FP said in a statement. “As has been said earlier, Gevorg Safaryan has been on hunger strike since yesterday as a sign of protest against political persecution and illegal imprisonment. Yesterday evening, Safaryan was transferred to a ward designed for prisoners on hunger strike. Earlier this month, Safaryan had health problems and needed examination but the prison administration did not attend to the problem,” the statement reads. The Founder Parliament calls the attention of local and international human rights organizations and observer missions to the fact in order to prevent political, psychological or physical pressure on him in the future.
