The teachers of the boarding school of Byureghavan punish children by
making them stand up all through the classes. Following the classes
through a peephole, the representatives of the Ombudsman witnessed a
teacher hitting a child with a pen at the fingers and using
inappropriate expressions. Children are afraid of the principles and
never communicate to them their problems. Besides, violations of
conditions of food storage have been detected.
Earlier the National Prevention Mechanism of the Human Rights Defender
warned the principle of the boarding school for multiple times against
using expired food, enabling normal conditions of food storage and the
need to resolve other issues.
They have communicated the mentioned issues to the Ministry of Labor
and Social Affairs which afterwards carried out a unilateral and
non-complete investigation, explanations were requested from only the
employees whose behavior was controversial. They did not listen to the
children studying at the school at all. The ombudsman's deputy has
contacted the deputy minister of labor and social affairs Filaret
Berikyan but the deputy minister did not respond appropriately.
HRD Karen Andreasyan urges to conduct a complete, objective and
comprehensive investigation of breaches detected in the boarding
school of Byureghavan to prevent similar cases in the future and hold
responsible the officials who breached, the message staff of the Human
Rights Defender holds.
