Sasun Mikaelyan was examined
Armenian political prisoner Sasun Mikaelyan refused to go on a hunger strike after he was transferred to hospital for further examination, a relative of Sasun Mikaelyan told A1+.
Last week Mikaelyan announced that he would take extreme measures if he was not taken to hospital.
Armenia's ex parliamentarian Sasun Mikaelyan was convicted in June, 2009, of organizing "mass disturbances" in the wake of the February 2008 presidential election. He was also found guilty of illegal arms possession. The resulting eight-year sentence disqualified him from a general amnesty that led to the release of some 30 opposition members and supporters.
Since detention, Mikaelyan has undergone numerous operations but to date he has not fully recovered.
