The conditions of detention became a tool of torture - Dzionik Agajnian.

The conditions of detention became a tool of torture - Dzionik Agajnian.

Such methods try to completely destroy the competitive field, meaning to deny any opportunity for the opposition candidate to advance and be elected. This is what diplomat Dzionik Agajanyan said during a press conference dedicated to the death of Arsen Gaborjain and the mass persecution of political opponents of the current government.

"You have to understand one thing: to carry out all this, they choose arrest. Arrest is a punishment. Punishment for having the courage to express an alternative opinion, punishment for disobeying the dictates of the authorities, punishment for speaking from national positions and punishment for preventing the implementation of the wishes of the authorities," she stated.

Arsen Geborgian died on November 10 in a correctional facility. The cause of death was myocardial infarction.

We will remind you that on October 21 it became known that 14 people were arrested as a result of searches conducted in the office of the powerful Armenia party in Stephanov. The next day, RA's committee to fight corruption reported that 10 of them had been arrested and placed under house arrest as a preventive measure. Among those arrested is Arsen Gaborjain, a candidate for the headship of the Stefanov community.
