"The court had better review the restraint of political prisoner Shant Harutyunyan detained after the March 1 disorder," says human rights activist Avetik Ishkhanyan. He met with Shant Harutyunyan earlier today.

Harutyunyan's health has sharply worsened. He has serious psychological problems and is much concerned about his family members," says the human rights activist.

"The penitentiary administration ensures that no pressure has been exerted on Shant Harutyunyan. Shant doesn't complain for their attitude either. He only states he is imprisoned for his political viewpoints. Shant Harutyunyan suffers form insomnia. He has been unable to sleep for a few days. I think that the restraint should be changed taking into consideration Shant's psychological state.

Remind that during the previous court ruling of the case against seven opposition activists Shant was hardly able to keep on his legs.
