Epress.am News from Armenia
Hovhannes Harutyunyan, a member of the Sasna Tsrer (Daredevils of Sasun) armed group who was wounded and hospitalized after a shoot-out with police a week into the Yerevan police station siege in July, has not received any medical care for four months.
Speaking to Epress.am on Friday, Harutyunyan's lawyer, Hayarpi Sargsyan, said that two days ago doctors visited her client in Nubarashen jail and told him that he would from now on have to practice self-treatment.
“How cruel can a physician be to say such a thing to a patient with a severe gunshot wound. Hovhannes is currently in a very serious condition; he can't even use the injured leg, which has gotten really thin and is showing changes in color. Hovhannes is so desperate that he is asking them to amputate the leg, but doctors are ignoring him,” lawyer Sargsyan said.
