Politics

“The state of Armenian MP Miasnik Malkassian detained in connection with the March 1 unrest has worsened,” the press secretary to the Penitentiary Department of the RoA Ministry of Justice, Arsen Babayan, said to A1+.

Malkhassian suffers from diabetes mellitus. Presently, he is under medical observation in the Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary Institution. Babayan says though Malkhassian doesn't need an inpatient treatment all efforts will be taken to improve Malkhassian's health.

Note, Malkhassian's Advocate Melania Arustamian has petitioned the pre-trial body to hospitalize the detainee.

“I think that Miasnik's restraint should be reviewed,” said Artsvik Minassian, member of the ARF Dashnaktsutiun and the NA ad hoc Committee for March 1.
