/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan told
RFE/RL liberty that detainment of former deputy prosecutor general
is political persecution.
"His detainment is an attempt to scare other officials," he said.
"I appealed to the RA Ombudsman to look into the case, since
Jahangiryan’s lawyer is not allowed a meeting," he said.
At that, Levon Ter-Petrosyan doesn’t think that Gagik Jahangiryan’s
life is in jeopardy, Novosti Armenia reports.
According to the RFE/RL, the Ombudsman has already visited Jahangiryan
and had a conversation with the detained.
