Sasun Mikayelyan needs serious medical treatment and expert care,
says cardiologist H. Hekimyan, chief specialist of the therapeutics
department of the Convicts' Hospital. On January 26 Hekimyan was sent
to the Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary institution to examine Armenian
MP Sasun Mikayelyan sued for the March 1 unrest.
On January 27 Miakyelyan was examined by an emergency doctor and
cardiologists of Erebuny medical centre. He was diognised with
ischemic disease, postinfarction cardiosclerosis, and arterial
hypertension. Anyway, the doctors said Mikayelyan needn't be
hospitalised. Justice Minister Gevorg Danielyan has informed Human
Rights Defender Armen Harutyunyan about the doctors' visit. The
Ombudsman's Office has published the letter today.
We don't insist on Sasun's hospitalisation, Advocate Hovik Arsenyan
said to A1+. We have filed a motion to the Penitentiary Department of
the Ministry of Justice. We claim that Mikayelyan needs rest cure. It
is imperative that Mikayelyan be transferred to another penitentiary
where doctors can be available after 6 p.m. as his state aggravates
in the evenings.
Arsenyan says Sasun Mikayelyan will go on a hunger strike if his
demands are not met by February 12.
