WAITRESS IS A POLITICAL PRISONER
Support A1+!“Anush Ghavalian suffers political persecution. We demand that she is immediately released”, declared MP Zaruhi Postanjian, RA citizen Lala Aslikian, Chairwoman of “Zartonk-89” NGO Silva Vardanian, Chairwoman of “The Advocates for Human Rights” NGO Seda Melikian and others.
Anush Ghavalian, a waitress in the café “Pizza di Roma”, is a widow and mother of 2 under-age children. She has been detained since March 21 under Article 205 /evasion of taxes, duties and other mandatory payments/. The case is under preliminary investigation.
“There is no evidence that Anush Ghavalian committed a crime. She is a waitress and cannot be accused of a crime committed by an official. She works in a cafe belonging to Khachatur Sukiassian who is presently under persecution. The interrogator simply wants Anush Gevorgian to give testimony on Khachtur Sukiassian, guaranteeing her release in return”, the announcement says.
