As is known, the representatives of the RA Ombudsman’s Office visited
the "Nubarashen" penitentiary of the RA Ministry of Justice January
9 and met with prisoner Vardges Gaspari. The latter informed that
nearly 10 people dressed in soldier uniforms entered his cell on
December 23 at 10:30 a.m., searched the cell and then personally
searched the prisoners in the cell.
Gaspari also informed that after the searches, one of the people
approached Gaspari, smacked him and committed actions that hurt his
honor and dignity. Vardges Gaspari claims that he can show the person
who did it.
Taking this information as a basis and based on the powers reserved for
him by the 12th article of the RA law on the "Ombudsman", RA Ombudsman
Armen Harutyunyan appealed to Head of the RA Special Investigative
Service A. Mirzoyan and proposed to hold a discussion on the issues
raised, undertake measures to reveal the guilty and bring them to
justice and provide information on the results of the discussion as
soon as possible.
