    The working group of the Office of the Defender of Human Rights of
    Armenia met July 31 with a group of life prisoners at the Nubarashen
    jail. The office of the ombudsman undertook this visit on learning
    that life prisoners went on a hunger strike in a protest against the
    conditions of the penitentiary. The office of the defender of human
    rights told the news agency ARKA that during the meeting these life
    prisoners complained of their verdict, as well as the way they are
    treated in the penitentiary.

    Taking into consideration the complaints, the leadership of the
    penitentiary of Nubarashen was instructed to improve the situation,
    namely guarantee regular medical aid, rest, as well as objects of
    everyday use.

    The warden of the penitentiary of Nubarashen Aram Sargsyan promised
    to try his best to eliminate these problems. And the working group of
    the office of the defender of human rights will assess the situation
    during the next visit to the penitentiary.
