“They are waiting for pretence to send us his body”
The health condition of Hrachya Harutyunyan, an Armenian driver imprisoned in Russia, is deteriorating. “Swelling appeared under his arm, which is connected with heart and he has spinal hernia,” Victor Martirosyan, father-in-law of Hrachya Harutyunyan told “A1+”. He says that Hrachya Harutyunyan was transferred to the hospital of the prison, stayed there for 15 days, was injected with painkillers and was again transferred to the prison “Yet he must have undergone surgery. They are waiting for his death to send us his body,” noted angrily Victor Martirosyan. Hrachya Harutyunyan’s father-in-law says that as a punishment he was transferred for 15 days to a separate cell as he is not able to work. “Now he is in a dark and cold cell, and his health condition is deteriorating.” The relatives are advised to wait for his extradition to Armenia. To remind, on July 13, 2013, near Podolsk, just outside of Moscow, the breaks of the truck Hrachya Harutyunyan was driving gave out, and the truck hit a bus, killing 18 passengers. More than 30 people were hospitalized. He was sentenced to 6 years and 9 months in prison. During these years the relatives have never met with Hrachya Harutyunyan.
