KAREN ANDREASYAN TURNS TO RUSSIAN OMBUDSMAN ON THE HUMILIATING TREATMENT TO THE ARMENIAN CITIZEN IN COURT
Mediamax, Armenia
July 16 2013
Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Human Rights Defender Karen Andreasyan
turned to the Russian Ombudsman Vladimir Lukin today.
On July 13, a truck driven by Hrachya Harutyunyan ran into a bus near
Moscow leaving 18 people dead.
Karen Andreasyan expressed his condolence to his Russian counterpart
on the tragic incident.
The Armenian Ombudsman particularly noted in his letter:
"Citizen of Republic of Armenia Hrachya Harutyunyan accused of
a violation of traffic rules which by an accident entailed death
of more than 2 people was brought to court in a humiliating look,
dressed in a women's robe.
The Russian Constitution stipulates that the dignity of a person is
protected by the state and nothing can serve a reason for belittling
it. Irrespective of the nationality, race, language, background,
location and other circumstances, actions belittling the honor
and dignity of the person in any way taken up by the government's
functionaries are unacceptable.
Taking into account the fact that the accident took place on the
territory under your jurisdiction, I ask you to examine the reasons
for the humiliating treatment and bringing Mr. Harutyunyan to court
in such a look, take up actions within your powers to help Armenian
citizen Hrachya Harutyunyan and inform me about the results".
