Today, November 12, HSBC Bank employee and three-year imprisoned
Ashot Arushanyan's parents have begun an indefinite sit-in and
hunger strike across the street from the Presidential Palace, near
the Marshal Baghramyan Metro.
They brought a couch and armchairs to the site of the sit-in, placing
their posters next to the furniture. Yesterday, the Arushanyans and
their supporters conducted a protest near the Presidential Palace,
demanding that President Serzh Sargsyan secure a fair investigation
for their son.
In June of this year, Ashot Arushanyan was sentenced to 5 and a half
years imprisonment. According to the most recent accusations, on
November 21, 2011, the defendant, Edgar Karakeshishyan, organized to
steal 56 million AMD ($135,000) from the car of Manana Grain company's
deputy director Armen Manukyan, while information about the transfer
of money was given by Arushanyan. Karakeshishyan was sentenced to 7
years imprisonment. Artashes Galustyan was also charged, but was set
free and subsequently found dead after committing suicide in his home.
According to Ashot Arushanyan's father, Lavrenti Arushanyan, the only
proof against his son is a testimony obtained through torture.
