Citizens whose relatives are in prison are at government building, demanding amnesty (video)
Roland Khostikyan is on hunger strike in front of the government building. "My brothers also went on hunger strike, they were sentenced on groundless suspicions," he says. Armen and Vagharshak Khostikyans were convicted on charges of 10 and 11 years of imprisonment respectively. Roland Khostikyan claims that they were charged based on falsified evidence. "They were buying and selling cars; a Georgian had sold them cars; they bought them and found out that they had been stolen, the investigator had a deal with them." According to Roland Khostikyan, the investigator demanded $ 30,000 from the family for not filing a lawsuit. The citizen demands to re-open the case and conduct a fair trial. Citizens whose relatives are in prison are at the government building. They demand amnesty. By the way, 30 convicts of "Armavir" penitentiary have sent a letter to the Prime Minister with a request to declare amnesty. If their letters are not responded until July 18, they are going to start a hunger strike.
