13:53, October 4, 2012

Nver Hovhannisyan, Director of the Vardenis Psychiatric Hospital,
has been arrested and is facing charges of patient abuse.

The arrest follows a recent Hetq article entitled “Director Forces
Vardenis Psychiatric Patients to Graze His Private Livestock”.

The RA Prosecutor General’s office told Hetq that investigators
followed up on the article and verified that Hovhannisyan had forced
several hospital patients to work under the guise of “therapy”.
