Hamlet Stepanyan, an Armenian national sentenced to 14 years in
prison in relation to the October 27, 1999 case, died suddenly on
May 15 in the Nubarashen prison, Justice Minister of the Republic of
Armenia informs.
The preliminary examination of Stepanya's body has not revealed any
sign of violation on it. A forensic investigation is underway to find
out the reason of his sudden death.
A group at the Justice Ministry that conducts public monitoring in
the prisons has been notified about the incident and has been invited
to take part in the examination.
The October 27, 1999 armed attack on the parliament by a group headed
by Yerevan-based journalist Nairi Hunanyan left several high-ranking
officials dead, among them also the then Chairman of the National
Assembly Karen Demirchyan and Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan and
several others.
