Siranush Sahakyan: “Ruben Vardanyan’s problem becomes extremely humanitarian”

The defender of the interests of Armenian prisoners in the ECHR, lawyer Siranush Sahakyan explained why one cannot trust the words of the Azerbaijani Ombudsman Sabina Aliyeva, who visited Ruben Vardanyan and other Armenian political prisoners yesterday. The prisoners allegedly told her that they were satisfied with the conditions of detention, although recent photos of Ruben Vardanyan clearly show the opposite.

“No video material was published this time, probably to avoid showing the condition of Ruben Vardanyan after a 15-day hunger strike. Vardanyan’s case is special, his health is already clearly in danger. Despite this, even in this position he refuses to testify”, said Siranush Sahakyan.

In her opinion, the most important thing now is to convince Ruben Vardanyan to stop his hunger strike. Moreover, Sahakyan believes that it is necessary to do everything possible to apply urgent international humanitarian instruments.
