YEREVAN.- Armenia-based Coalition to Stop Violence Against Women will
hold a protest action outside the court in Artashat where Mariam
Gevorgyan's case will be heard on Thursday.
Recall, Mariam was subjected to physical and emotional abuse by her
mother-in-law Haykanush Mikaelyan, as well as by her husband,
David Ziroyan after the couple married in 2009, then left for St.
Petersburg, where the husband's family live.
For 10 months, Mariam was subject to repeated abuse by David and
members of his family. After returning to Yerevan, Mariam contacted
police. Subsequently David was charged with inflicting damage to
health.
The general amnesty granted by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in
2011, however, was applied to David and he was released.
David's mother continues to face charges of infliction damage to
health, as well as torture (RA Criminal Code Article 119).
