POLITICAL PRISONERS SEND REGARDS
Support A1+!“We are ready to stay in unlawful custody until we are able to bring our struggle to a success,” declared members of the “Heritage” Party Sasun Mikayelian, Hakob Hakobian, Myasnik Malkhasian and former Foreign Minister Alexander Arzumanian, who are currently detained in the “Kentron” Penitentiary. “They were in high spirits. They are following every step of the All Armenian Movement,” informed Armen Martirossian, who had called at the penitentiary to meet his friends. “We discussed the political situations and the latest developments” he says.
Martirossian noted that the prisoners’ main concern is that they were detained for unlawful and groundless reasons and no investigation is carried out yet. “Only yesterday an investigation process was launched and the ad hoc committee investigating 1 March events met Myasnik Malkhasian,” Mratirossian says.
He believes the interrogation process would not have launched even yesterday if COE Human Rights Commissioner Tomas Hammerberg were not in Armenia.
At the end of the visit the political prisoners sent their regards to the members of the All Armenian Movement and participants of the sit-down strike in Northern Avenue.
