Prisoner Armen Hakobyan has announced an indefinite hunger strike at
the Vanadzor prison, said the prisoner's mother Lusabek Hakobyan to
Epress.am. The reason behind the hunger strike, is because Hakobyan is
suffering from meningoencephalitis which he obtained in prison.
According to Hakobyan's mother, they conducted surgery on him,
however, hey transferred him back to the Vanadzor prison before the
treatment was complete. "The thing is that the Vanadzor Penitentiary
Facility does not have doctors, it only has paramedics," said
Hakobyan.
The prisoner has a doctor in Yerevan, however, the latter refuses to
go to Vanadzor so frequently to inspect the patient. After having a
surgery on his head, Hakobyan has to submit various blood samples and
has to undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which technically is
impossible in the Vanadzor prison.
The RA Ministry of Justice Penitentiary Department`s Public relations
division head Gor Ghlechyan told Epress.am that Armen Hakobyan
underwent surgery and was under the doctors' supervision for a long
time. However, based on the information about his condition, the
commission decided that he could continue his treatment with
medication in prison.
