Sasun Mikaelyan, imprisoned on March 1, 2008-related charges of
organizing mass disorder and illegal possession of weapons, had been
moved to Nork-Marash Medical Center’s cardiology department because
of serious heart problems. Previously, he had been in the prison
hospital. Sasun Mikaelyan underwent a surgery at 7 pm on February 4.
On February 6, Mikaelyan was moved back to the prison hospital. He
has been prescribed a form of treatment where he must be seen by
doctors every day for a full year; thus, he must be under doctors’
strict supervision.
According to Tert.am sources, Mikaelyan’s health is still in poor
condition. The former commander, who fought in the Nagorno-Karabakh
war, also carries dozens of shrapnel shards in his body left over
from the war.
