Doctors were allowed into the penitentiary only after Arsen Gevorgyan’s death – lawyers’ statement

Doctors were allowed into the penitentiary institution only after the death of Arsen Gevorgyan, a member of the Strong Armenia party, his legal team said.

“Regarding the tragic death, according to the information we have received: Arsen Gevorgyan’s condition clearly deteriorated, but he was examined by a paramedic rather than a doctor from the penitentiary’s medical staff. An ambulance was not called as quickly as possible, and even after that, Arsen Gevorgyan was not provided with medical care, nor was access to it ensured. We will consistently seek a proper investigation into the circumstances of Arsen Gevorgyan’s death,” the statement said.
