Person on whose orders hundreds are arrested bears responsibility for another opposition figure’s death in prison: statement

The person on whose orders hundreds of people are being groundlessly discredited and arrested bears responsibility for the death of yet another opposition figure in prison, the Strong Armenia party said in a statement.

“It is with deep sorrow that we report that Arsen Gevorgyan, the Strong Armenia party’s candidate in the local government elections in Stepanavan, has died in a penitentiary institution. Before the elections, the authorities arrested him and launched a smear campaign against him based on fabricated charges.

The person on whose orders hundreds of people are being groundlessly discredited and arrested bears responsibility for the death of yet another opposition figure in prison.

The Strong Armenia party extends its condolences to Arsen Gevorgyan’s family,” the party’s statement reads.
