Andreas Ghukasyan’s relatives could not see him
Andreas Ghukasyan’s wife, Anahit Tarkhanyan, has been unable to see her husband today. On arriving at the Nubarashen prison, she was told that regular visiting hours were over. “The ban on visits was lifted on October 5 but we learned about it quite by accident from the lawyers,” she said adding that they will try to see him on Thursday. “We are all very excited – my child, me and Andreas’s mother. We have not seen him for a long time and we are very impatient,” she added. Andreas Ghukasyan, a member of the “Rise up, Armenia” civil movement, is charged with organizing mass disorders in Yerevan’s Sari Tagh district on July 29. The Court has rejected several times a motion to change Ghukasyan’s measure of restraint and release him on bail. Davit Sanasaryan and Armen Martirosyan, both members of the Heritage party, faced the same charges but the court agreed to release them on bail.
