ArmInfo. Scandal around Nubarashen Boarding School is gathering pace.
One of the complainants Hasmik Sinanyan could not attend the first
ession of the trial today on April 26. Green Movement activist Mariam
Sukhudyan told media that earlier in the morning on April 26 Sinanyan
was taken to the police office without any explanations. "The lawyer
was not allowed to see her. This arouses concern, for she has not
refused from her accusations against Levon Avagyan and has repeatedly
expressed readiness to go to the end," M. Suhkudyan said. She recalled
that in April-June 2008 a number of public activists participated
in the UN Project "Ten Best Schools" when the Boarding School No.11
was monitored as well. Monitoring revealed a series of shortcomings:
poor quality of catering, poor sanitation, and brutal treatment to
children. In addition, some students were forced to carry out hard
work in the land lots and houses of the school leadership.
The cases of sexual harassment of minors by their teacher Levon Avagyan
received wide public response. On Nov 13 2008 the Armenian Public
Television program "Haylur" reported of sexual abuse of certain D.A.,
a pupil of the Nubarashen special school No.11, by her teacher Levon
Avagyan. After the report, the Erebuni Investigation Department accused
Marian Sukhudyan, participant in the monitoring of the given school,

guilty party. She was charged with Article 135 part 1 of the Criminal
Code of Armenia (slander), then with Article 333 part 2 point 3 (false
denunciation for illicit gain) and then again with Article 135. Later
all these charged were removed. The Prosecutor General's Office of
Armenia told ArmInfo that the Yerevan Investigation Department of the
Chief Intelligence Department of the Armenian Police revealed that
the Erebuni Community Department made its own interpretation of all
the proofs. A criminal case on the facts of sexual abuse of minors
