The person and his dignity have long been no absolute value in Armenia - a statement.
Arsen Gaborkyan, a candidate for the post of head of the extended community of Stephanov in the local government elections from the powerful Armenia party, died in a penal institution. On this occasion, political forces united around the national agenda published a joint statement.
"Arsen Gaborkian is another victim of political persecution, a clearly illegal contraceptive and a deliberate smear campaign launched by Nikol Pashinyan's government. This tragedy demonstrates a frightening reality: a person and his dignity have long been no absolute value in Armenia, and the use of arrest as a means of repeated pressure on the figure of the opposition has become an opposition device. All responsibility for the death of Arsen Gaborkian rests with the ruling power and the representatives of the judiciary, while signing his illegal orders.
We strongly condemn the atmosphere of political violence leading to such tragic results;.
We call on all political actors and social forces to unconditionally condemn this case.
We call on all international structures and diplomatic missions to give a clear assessment of the massive violations of human rights in Armenia and the practice of political persecution that costs human lives.
This tragedy reaffirmed the necessity to restore democratic freedoms and rights. The memory of Arsen Gaborkian obliges us to fight to the end for the establishment of human rights, dignity and the rule of law in Armenia," the statement said.
