11.20.2013 23:41 epress.am
The adviser to Armenia's Ombudsman today paid a visit to Shant
Harutyunyan, who, though soon to be taken to a psychiatric hospital
for assessment, is still in Yerevan Kentron penitentiary.
According to the office of the Ombudsman, during their private
conversation, Harutyunyan was calm and he didn't raise any complaints
about his current situation.
However, Shant Harutyunyan expressed concern about being possibly
provoked at the psychiatric clinic, stressing the importance of
ensuring his safety, considering the fact that he has been a law
enforcement officer in the past. He asked the Adviser to the Ombudsman
to visit him from the first day of his transfer to the psychiatric
clinic, in order to focus on possible problematic issues.
"As assigned by the Defender, an official letter has been prepared
with an enquiry to provide security for Shant Harutyunyan.
"The Defender will be consistent to assure the security of Shant
Harutyunyan, and the representatives of the Defender will regularly
visit him," reads the Ombudsman's statement.
