Tzedek Larsen Geborgian": objection in the European Union office in Yerevan about the state's fault in the death of the candidate from "strong Armenia".
On November 11, a "Justice for Arsen Gaborjin" rally was held near the EU office in Yerevan. At the same time, a press conference of the "Armenia" faction was held. The representatives of the opposition blamed the state for the death of the candidate for the head of the Stephanov community, who died in the Novarashan prison on November 10, and pointed to the arrest as a punitive instrument. More details in the opinion review.
Irina Yulian, Deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia from the "Armenia" faction.
"Our comrade-in-arms Arsene Gaborjain became the victim of a deadly system of injustice. Could all this have been avoided if the authorities had not used detention as a tool of punishment? Of course it was possible."
Kristin Vardanian, Deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia from the "Armenia" faction.
"You killed a person today. The responsibility for the death of Arsen Geborgian rests not only on the one who gave the order to arrest him, and on the one who made the decision to arrest him, but also on all those people who mock people's health problems."
Anna Grigoryan, Deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia.
"Arsen Geborgian died under the full control of the state. As a result, the state bears full responsibility for his life and health."
Aram Vardvanyan, Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament.
"You trample on the presumption of innocence at the cost of human destinies, this is another tragic example of the fetishization of arrests, hatred and political persecution."
Mana Tandilian, former deputy of the National Assembly of Armenia.
"What is it if not murder due to political opposition? The use of arrest as a preventive measure when there is no reason for it is a punishment in itself."
Lawyer Aram Orbelian.
"Has the death penalty been brought back in Armenia? Suppose a person is guilty - should die?
