Prisoner threatens to commit suicide tired of humiliations by prison’s employees
11:30 – 17.11.12
A prisoner that has sewn up his eyes and mouth and threatened to
strangle himself has temporary stopped the hunger strike and removed
the sutures on eyes and mouth.
The employees of the Human Rights Defense office operative response
group visited Nubarashen penitentiary and met with convict Artak
Abrahamyan, who before their arrival, spoke with institution’s
administration and removed the sutures until the penitentiary solves
the issues.
Abrahamyan has also presented an application to the Ombudsman’s office
where he said that the employees of the penitentiary have many times
humiliated him. He said if the administration fails to solve the issue
he will commit suicide.
