Acts of violence and pressures upon the political activists accused on the March 1 criminal case have become stronger in penitentiary institutions lately. Aram Sargsian, the Chairman of the Hanrapetutiu (Republic) party, Ararat Zurabian, the Board Chairman of the Armenian National Movement party, and Levon Zurabian, the Coordinator of the Armenian National Congress, stated at the December 24 press conference.
According to L. Zurabian, defendant on the "case of the seven" Grigor Voskerchian, opposition activists Ashot Manukian and Armen Khurshudian have been beaten cruelly in their prison cells lately. According to L. Zurabian, the group of masked policemen that had taken part in those prisoners' beating the day before, in the morning of December 24 also appeared in the building of the Nubarashen penitentiary institution, from which ANC members conclude that the wave of violence in the prison will continue.
"The regime has repeatedly proved that it can do any meanness. However, now the authorities have went down and become equal to the lowest immorality scale," L. Zurabian stated. He affirmed that the authorities strengthen pressures upon the opposition, as they are afraid to lose the "case of the seven" in the court. Besides beating, according to him, in order to psychologically affect prisoners law enforcers move them to other cells, where the conditions are worse. In consideration of all this, ANC demands RA Justice Minister Gevorg Danielian's resignation, calls RA Ombudsman for publicizing a special report and the NA Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction for making a proposal to convene a special sitting.
