Ombudsman applied to Justice Minister
Armenia's Ombudsman Armen Harutiunian today sent a letter to Minister of Justice Gevorg Danielian and Head of Special Investigation Service Andranik Mirzoyan. In the letter the Human Rights Defender requests the officials to study the documents presented by journalist Larissa Paremuzyan, institute an inquiry and punish wrongdoers.
Remind that in her letter addressed to Armen Harutiunian, reporter of Aravot daily and hetq.am website Larissa Paremuzyan stated that employees of Compulsory Enforcement Service (CES) had attempted to interfere with her work at 1:30 August 27.
On August 27, Larissa Paremuzyan saw CES employees using violence against Vanadzor citizen Anahit Margaryan.
Mrs. Paremuzyan urged them to stop brutality and recorded the incident. Just at that moment, a CES employee grasped the camera and handed to his co-worker ignoring Mrs. Paremuzyan's words and continuing illegal actions.
