Nubarashen and Erebuni regular court opened hearing on Nubarashen
school students’ rape case.
Over 30 people gathered in front of the courthouse to raise their
voices in condemnation of child rape.
Criminal case was instigated after human rights activist Mariam
Sukhudyan reported incidences of neglect, violence and sexual abuse
towards the children with mental disabilities in No.11 Nubarashen
school. Proceedings have been instigated against Armenian language
and literature teacher Levon Avagyan for "committing immoral acts",
with maximum punishment of 3 years.
