Sasna Tsrer Members Needs Treatment in Civilian Hospital After Hunger Strike, Lawyer Says

Sasna Tsrer armed group member Armen Bilyan, who on January 12 was transferred to the Convicts’ Hospital penitentiary after a 25-day hunger strike, needs an examination in a civilian hospital, Bilyan’s lawyer, Armine Fanyan, told Epress.am on Tuesday, stressing that she intended to to file a motion with the court with a corresponding request.

“The doctors at the penitentiary give no noteworthy assessments of his health state. In addition, the Convicts’ Hospital does not have the technical equipment to identify a number of health problems. We plan therefore to invite doctors from a civilian hospital to properly examine Bilyan,” Fanyan said. She added that Bilyan has already written a corresponding appeal to the management of the Convicts’ Hospital.

“The court has once let a dentist visit Pavlik Manukyan in prison, and Armen Bilyan needs the same examination. In addition, we plan to invite a neurologist. Bilyan has been undergoing rehabilitation for the past month, but his condition has yet to improve,” the lawyer said.
