ArmInfo. 'Levon Gulyan's death has shown that RA Police uses trials to
draw out confessionary statements from the persons under
investigation', Head of the Helsinki Committee of Armenia Avetik
Ishkhanyan said at today's briefing organized by the Transparency
International-Armenia.
A. Ishkhanyan thinks that the attempts have become a widespread method
of examination in Armenia. He expressed discontent with the fact that
no official in Armenia was made accountable for using trials. He also
said that after creation of a special investigation group on December
1, the latter received Levon Gulyan's case under its jurisdiction.
To recall, 31-years-old Levon Gulyan, Director of the "Pandok"
restaurant, died on May 12, 2007, within the walls of RA Police. Gulyan
was invited for talk within the frames of the criminal case
on the fact of murder of some criminal authority Stepan Vardanyan. By
the official version, during the talk, L. Gulyan asked for water and
when the investigation officer left the room, he tried to run
away, he fall down from the second- floor window and died. However, the
relatives of the died believe that either Gulyan was preliminary beaten
and then thrown out of the window or he was reduced to the condition
that he had to throw himself, or he tried to avoid beatings and
derisions.
