You trample on the presumption of innocence at the cost of people's lives - Aram Vardvanian.
For a long time we have been talking directly about the fact that the arrest in Armenia has become not only a tool of political repression, but also a real evil, wrote a member of the Strong Armenia faction, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Aram Vardvanyan on his Facebook page.
"Arsen Gaborjain, being protected by the presumption of innocence and the presumption of freedom, which were grossly violated by competent authorities, was solely the responsibility of the state, and under these conditions we see a frightening fact.
Finally, understand: detention is not a punishment, it is a purely extreme measure of restraint. You send many people to baseless detention, because you cannot imagine Armenia without political prisoners and overcrowded prisons. You have no guarantee of providing basic medical care to detainees, but you certainly send them to prison - so what?
You trample the presumption of innocence at the cost of human destinies. This is another tragic example of hatred, fetishization of arrests and political persecution.
My deepest condolences to the family of Arsen Geborgian," Vardvanian wrote.
