“Let Tatoyan go and one day stay in that cell" (video)
Member of the Founding Parliament Gevorg Safaryan will not be transferred to that building of Nubarashen prison, where last year he was subjected to violence. After complaints he was transferred not to the main, but the 6th building, “As of now we can fix that some steps have been carried out for solving the issue and at least Gevorg remained in the 6th building, where he wanted to stay,” said Gevorg Gorgisyan, lawmaker of “Yelk” (Way out) faction. Besides Gevorg Safaryan there are two more people in the cell. During the meeting Gevorg Safaryan told the NA lawmakers about it, “Now we should understand who those two people are and whether they can stay together or not.” The lawyers demanded to move Gevorg Safaryan to a safe cell, as they had information that in the main building the criminal elements threatened him. The lawmakers of “Yelk” faction informed about the issue of Gevorg Safaryan also to the Ministry of Justice, “Mr Harutyunyan was partially aware of the issue; we presented the whole issue,” said Gevorg Gorgisyan. The relatives today have also been able to visit Gevorg Safaryan, who was in the punishment cell for 23 days, “Gevorg was in high spirits, I also calmed down after seeing him,” said Shushan Berberyan, mother of Gevorg Safaryan. But Shushan Berberyan noticed that her son has difficulty in walking connected with the problem with his leg. Before the decision on Gevorg Safaryan, activist Vardges Gaspari had been holding protest action outside the HRD office. He came to remind Gevorg Safaryan’s statement that cell smelt bad and sometimes waste water flew into the cell, “Let Human rights defender Tatoyan go and one day stay in that cell and then see what he will be talking about.”
