YEREVAN. - The son and wife of United National Initiative leader and
activist Shant Harutyunyan visited him in prison hospital on Tuesday.
Shahen Harutyunyan, the son of arrested activist, told Armenian
News-NEWS.am that his father delivered a call that would be voiced
in the coming days.
"He was weak after a hunger strike, but was happy to see us. He is
still convinced that a revolution is necessary," Shahen said.
The son of arrested leader is confident that lifting the visiting
ban is a victory.
"Our struggle yielded results. Today's visit was a result of our
struggle," he emphasized.
The United National Initiative leader and activist Shant Harutyunyan
who heads a nationalist party announced about starting a revolution,
on November 5, 2013. He and his around dozen supporters wearing Guy
Fawkes "Anonymous masks" started a march toward the Presidential
Palace, but the police had stopped the march.
As a result, there was a scuffle, and the police detained 38 activists,
including Harutyunyan and his son. Subsequently, 20 of them, including
Harutyunyan, were arrested, charges were laid against six of them
and, consequently, they were incarcerated. As a result of the melee,
sixteen people, including police officers and the Armenian News-NEWS.am
reporter, were injured.
Shant Harutyunyan was charged with violence against a
representative-i.e., the police-of the authorities, and on January 10,
he ended a seventeen-day hunger strike.
