Hrachya Harutyunyan, the driver of the truck that suffered a crash
near Podolsk, Russia, claiming 18 lives was brought to the courtroom
wearing a woman's robe because there were no other clothes for him to
wear at the moment, Harutyunyan's lawyer, Erik Chabanov, was quoted
as saying by RIA Novosti.
The doctors had no intention of humiliating him, he added.
Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan earlier sent a letter to Russia's
Human Rights Commissioner Vladimir Lukin, asking him to examine the
reasons of degrading treatment of the Armenian citizen.
"The doctors had to tear off Harutyunyan's clothes when he was brought
to hospital, and as there were no other clothes in the hospital, they
dressed him in a woman's robe. They had no intention of insulting him,"
the lawyer said.
Meanwhile, Chabanov admitted that the doctors could get in touch with
him to ask for clothes, but they did not do so.
To note, a truck crashed into a passenger bus on July 13 near
Podolsk, Russia. The bus split in two. 18 people were killed, 30 were
hospitalized with injuries. The truck driver, Hrachya Harutyunyan,
was arrested on Monday. He was brought to the courtroom wearing a
woman's robe.
