CUTTING VEINS FIRST INSTANCE IN PUBLIC PROTEST, HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER SAYS
16:52 21.08.13
Cutting the veins is widely practiced in penitentiaries, but this
is the first instance during a public protest, Head of the Helsinki
Citizens' Assembly Vanadzor office Artur Sakunts told Tert.am.
"This is the first instance I have learned about," he said as he
commented on a man cutting his vein during a protest in Yerevan.
Anushavan Petrosyan, one of the participants in the protest in front
of Building 5A in Komitas Avenue, Yerevan, cut his veins and was
rushed to hospital.
Residents of Buildings 5A, 7 and 9 are protesting the construction
of a 14-storey building amid 5-storey buildings in the area.
On Tuesday, Head of the Arabkir community Hrair Antonyan promised
the residents to produce the documents and prove the legality of the
construction project. However, he has not so far kept his promise.
This is evidence of Antonyan's attitude to the residents' problems.
"In this respect, Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan has to think of who
he has appointed as head of the community," Sakunts said.
