HUNGER STRIKER KIDNAPPED

10:49 am | Today | Social

Member of the ad-hoc committee leading an investigation into the events
of March 1, Artavazd Vardanyan was kidnapped at midnight after being
on a hunger strike in front of the Central Electoral Commission for
a week.

As Artavazd Vardanyan told “A1+”, anonymous people approached him
at midnight, forcefully sat him in a car and took him to his home
located in Musaler.

“They told me not to approach the CEC at all, but after they left, I
immediately took a cab and returned to see that my tent and necessary
items had been stolen,” Vardanyan told “A1+”.

He says those people were sent by the authorities.

Today at 13:00 Artavazd Vardanyan will give a press conference near the
CEC and will announce whether he will stop the hunger strike or not.

We remind that Artavazd Vardanyan is on a hunger strike because he
believes that elections don’t change anything in Armenia.
