The lawyer of an inmate of "Nubarashen" penal institution called the
hotline of Armenia's Human Rights Ombudsman, saying that the prisoner
sewed up his own mouth and went on a hunger strike. In his words,
the man, who has health problems, took these actions in protest of
the improper medical aid given to him.
Employee of the Ombudsman's Rapid Response Group David Davtyan along
with two representatives of NGOs cooperating with the Rapid Response
Unit Suren Iskandaryan and Hasmik Sahakyan went to "Nubarashen"
penal institution and had a face-to-face talk with the inmate. The
employees of the rapid response group familiarized themselves with
his problem and suggested submitting an application to the Human
Rights Ombudsman in order to take action on the problem.
Then the members of the rapid response group met with the head
of "Nubarashen" penal institution. As a result the prisoner was
transferred to the penal institution's aid post, after which he ended
the hunger strike and removed the stitches.
