S. Mkhitaryan, an inmate of the Nubarashen penitentiary, attempted
suicide on Monday.
Officers managed to prevent the suicide, Gor Ghlechyan, Spokesman
for the Department for Execution of Punishments, told Tert.am.
“He did not say anything. He is discontented with the preliminary
investigation,” Mr Ghlechyan said.
He noted that the penitentiary system is not authorized to petition
for a new investigation.
S. Mkhitaryan was sentenced to six years for robbery in
Nagorno-Karabakh. He began serving his sentence in Shushi and then
was transferred to Yerevan’s Nubarashen prison.
Representatives of the social and psychological and the legal
departments visited S. Mkhitaryan.
