Sasna Tsrer's Araik Khandoyan lawyer files complaint with Ombudsman

PanARMENIAN.Net - A member of the Sasna Tsrer (Daredevils of Sassoun) group, Karabakh war veteran Araik “Lone Wolf” Khandoyan had his glasses confiscated, resulting in troubles with vision, rendering him incapable of free movement or reading, lawyer Ara Karagyozyan said.

In this context, complaints were filed with Armenia’s Ombudsman and deputy chief of Armenia’s Special Investigation Service.

“After Khandoyan was detained, they never gave him back his glasses. We believe this to be a violation of European Convention on Human Rights, a degrading treatment. The glasses have no evidential meaning in the case and there’s no reason not to return them to Khandoyan. This is simply ridiculous,” Panorama.am cited the lawyer as saying.
