Leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan’s attorney Yerem Sargsyan posted the following on his Facebook page:

“The defense of leader of Prosperous Armenia Party Gagik Tsarukyan has also informed the Human Rights Defender of Armenia about the obvious illegalities against Gagik Tsarukyan under the criminal case being investigated by the National Security Service of Armenia.

The Human Rights Defender visited Gagik Tsarukyan at Yerevan-Kentron Penitentiary Institution of the Ministry of Justice of Armenia, after which he addressed the Prosecutor General of Armenia with a letter stating the illegalities in order for the Prosecutor General’s Office to consider, within the scope of its powers, all the circumstances presented in the letter, including the substantiation of the selected pre-trial measure.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia hasn’t responded to the letter yet.”
