Nikol’s articles not sent
Lawyer Vahe Grigoryan today announced that he has been called on persuading editor-in-chief of "Haykakan Zhamanak" daily newspaper Nikol Pashinyan to not write articles. According to Grigoryan, "Artik" penitentiary has already made an attempt.
During today's press conference, Vahe Grigoryan mentioned that the penitentiary administration is also not transferring Pashinyan's letters to the "Haykakan Zhamanak" editorial office. On February 24, the administration investigated Pashinyan's cell, confiscated his writing utensils and returned them only after three days.
"Nikol Pashinyan is also not allowed to see his relatives and send his articles through me because he is checked before each encounter. The administration only found one note recently and didn't allow him to bring it to our meeting. The note referred to persecutions against him," said Vahe Grigoryan.
The lawyer said the head of "Artik" penitentiary has all letters that Nikol Pashinyan has addressed to "Haykakan Zhamanak".
Grigoryan also conveyed Nikol Pashinyan's message in which Pashinyan says he will be transmitting a letter to the penitentiary every day and has asked all journalists to try to find out whether the addressees receive the letters or not.
