"Sasun Mikaelian doesn't receive proper treatment"
Advocate Hovik Arsenian is indignant at the fact that Armenia's former MP Sasun Mikaelian undergoes treatment in the "Hospital for Convicts" Penitentiary Institution.
I have submitted all documents certifying to Mikaelian's illness during the preinvestigation and legal proceedings and demanded that my client be set free. During the trial doctors have been sent for to examine Sasun Mikaelian. Undoubtedly, Sasun must be under constant supervision of doctors," says the advocate.
Remind that on September 12 Armenian opposition parliamentarian Sasun Mikaelian was taken to the "Hospital for Convicts" with rapid heartbeats and high blood pressure. Besides, Sasun felt pain in his body from the shell-splinters received during the war.
"Can a person having so many complaints and being deprived of sunlight for a year and a half get proper treatment in the "Hospital for Convicts"? Surely, he cannot," says Hovik Arsenian.
"Keeping a national hero like Sasun Mikaelian in custody is high treason," adds the indignant advocate.
"All non-government organizations should join in protest against Sasun Mikaelian's detention. It is a matter of honour for all of us. The Armenian legislation enables to quash the lawsuit against Sasun Mikaelian."
