At 2.00, March 13, the police department of Yerevan’s Kentron
district received an alarm from the Nairi medical centre that Gagik
Shamshyan, 1971, was taken to hospital from 24 Saryan with an injury
of genitals and internal hemorrhage.

Later it became known that Shamshyan had been beaten up in Yerevan
State Linguistic University by the chief safety officer Karen
Mirijanyan, 1976.

It has come to our knowledge that Shamshyan had gone to the University
to take photos. In the University he started a quarrel with security
officers which later came to blows.

Mirijanyan is detained.

An inquiry is now in progress.
