“Protection of Prisoners' Rights in Armenia”: live (video)
“From January 1 to December 31, 2015 28 people died in the penitentiary institutions; 3 out of them are suicide cases and the rest are death cases caused by illnesses. Maybe those 25 people had also been subjected to release, and their illnesses didn’t result in death. No investigation is being carried out in connection with these cases, as the members of the families don’t complain,” says Arayik Zalyan, Chairman of the group of public observers conducting public monitoring in the penitentiary institutions and bodies of the Ministry of Justice The Media Center is holding a discussion on “Protection of Prisoners' Rights in Armenia: Sum-up of the First 6 Months of 2016”.
