Aram Mughalyan, in pre-trial detention under charges of “hooliganism”
and attempt to intentionally damage another’s property, has been on
a hunger strike for one week; two days ago he announced he would not
be drinking water. His health has rapidly deteriorated.
Speaking to Epress.am this morning, Mughalyan’s attorney Vahe
Gabrielyan said his client’s blood pressure has dropped, he’s
experiencing dizziness, and he basically needs to be hospitalized.
Mughalyan is in the Armavir prison, where, according to Gabrielyan,
conditions are bad. Today, Mughadalyan will be transferred to the
Nubarashen penitentiary.
“Today too we spoke with Aram; he is in a bad state; I think he should
be taken to a hospital, but it’s unlikely that will happen.
Nevertheless, Aram does not intend to stop his hunger- and
water-strike,” he said.
Recall, Mughalyan went on a hunger strike to protest violations in
the criminal case against him and his friends, their arbitrary arrest,
and fraud in the preliminary investigation.
Earlier, Epress.am spoke with the attorneys of Robert Pilosoyan,
who is also accused in this case,. They outlined the violations and
the torture their client experienced in prison.
