MP’s Brother Held in Cell that Exceeds Capacity

Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan’s brother Tigran Postanjyan appeared in court yesterday looking not too good, reports local daily Hraparak.

“He apologized for not having shaved. The reason was that Saturday, Sunday and Monday at Nubarashen penitentiary were non-working days, which means it’s not possible to shower on these days. We were also informed that Tigran Postanjyan is being held in a cell that’s over capacity: though it’s supposed to hold 10 people, [the cell] contains 17 people, which is a violation of human rights,” writes Hraparak.
