launch a thorough, immediate, effective and impartial investigation
in relation to tortures and inhuman treatment with resident of the

daughters and raping one of them, and was imprisoned from May 8,
2009, to February 26, 2010. In December, 2009, the General Court of
Aragatsotn region acquitted S. Davtyan in part of raping an under-aged
girl and sentenced to 4 years of imprisonment according to the article
. The judge Ruzanna Barseghyan delivered a judgment, according to which
she recognized inadmissible the fact that preliminary testimonies were
taken from the aggrieved persons - Tehmine and Shushan Davtyan with
violation of the law requirements. It was established in the court
that the police obtained the testimonies it needed, as a result of
torture and degrading treatment of the girls.
S. Davtyan was also subjected to tortures and in the Police of the
Center and said during the judicial process that he was cruelly
beaten and had to sign the documents he was presented. The human

Armenian authorities to find the real perpetrators of the rape of S.

confessions which were given under psychological and physical duress
and insure him a fair and impartial trial.
