The use of arrest as a measure of pressure on opposition elements has become a tool of retaliation - a statement.
The parties, united around the national agenda, demanded to reveal the circumstances of Arsen Geborgian's death, that justice be guaranteed and that justice be restored.
"The candidate for the position of the head of the extended Stephanov community from the powerful Armenia party in the local government elections, Arsen Gaborjain, died in a prison institution.
Arsen Geburgian is another victim of political persecution, deliberate illegal contraception and a deliberate smear campaign launched during the reign of Nikol Pashinyan. This tragedy demonstrates a horrifying reality: a person and his dignity have long been no absolute value in Armenia, and the use of arrest as a measure of pressure on opposition elements has become a retribution device.
The ruling power and the representatives of the judiciary, who cancel his illegal orders, bear the full responsibility for the death of Arsen Gaborjain.
We strongly condemn the atmosphere of political violence that gives rise 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 violation 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 Geborgian obliges us to fight to the end for the establishment of human rights, dignity and the rule of law in Armenia," the statement said.
