ARRESTED LEADER OF ARMENIAN ARYANS GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE
YEREVAN, JANUARY 28. ARMINFO. The recently arrested leader of the
Armenian-Aryan Order party Armen Avetissyan has gone on hunger strike.
The reason is that Avetissyan has been placed in the same cell with
criminals who used violence against him. Avetissyan’s lawyer Melania
Arustamyan and an ombudsman representative are now in the cell to
inquire into the situation.
Thursday MPs Viktor Dallakyan and Manuk Gasparyan asked Yerevan’s
Prosecutor Hrach Badalyan to change the measure of restriction against
Avetissyan.
To remind, Avetissyan was arrested for kindling ethnic, racial and
religious strife.
