THE POLICE BANNED AGAIN
Support A1+!The parents of victim-soldiers who died in military units while at service staged a sit-down strike in front of the Government building but the police forcibly removed them from there.
“You have made a show”, the policemen were claiming. “We wish you a show like this in your homes,” replied a dead serviceman’s aunt Susanna Galstian. Her nephew had been at Army service in Agarak unit in Meghri district and died on Victory Day, May 9, 2008. “He was the only son of my brother. They don’t have any other children. The officers got drunk on that day, beat the offspring and threw him into the petroleum tank, as if he got drowned. 23 more days and he would be back home from his service,” Susanna said to “A1+” in tears.
“I’ve been told that my son had died out of electricity shock, but in that case his clothes would be torn out. His officers had killed him and scared the other soldiers not to give any testimony otherwise they would be punished more bitterly,” the mother of serviceman Tigran Ohanjanian who died on August 31, 2007, told “A1+”.
According to dead soldiers’ parents they have met Deputy Head of National Security Service who invited them to his office tomorrow.
Today there was another act of complaint towards Government by the residents of “the zone of alienation” who demanded to meet the Prime Minister. However their shouting “Prime-Minister” and loud whistling didn’t reach the PM.
