Zvart Kirakosyan, mother of the conscript Suren Kirakosyan who has been on
hunger strike since April 5 met with his son on May 17 in Goris
penitentiary. `When I hugged my son, his body seemed lifeless,' says the
mother. When the mother asked him to stop starving, the son said: `Let me
die in peace.'
The demand of conscript Suren Kirakosyan to receive medical examination has
not been accepted, so now he has resorted to the opposite- the refuses any
treatment. He even wrote: `Please, don't help me when I feel bad.' The head
and the staff of Goris penitentiary asked the soldier's mother to convince
him to agree to be treated.
Yesterday, Zvart Harutyunyan requested the head of the department of
penitentiaries Hayk Harutyunyan to transfer his son to the hospital of
prisoners but there has been no response yet.
One of Suren Kirakosyan's demands was to review his criminal case. He was
charged for deserting.
Note that even in his present condition he is regularly taken from Goris to
Kapan court, but every time the court hearing is adjourned due to his
health.
The soldier had serious health problems even before his conscription. His
health got worse during his service.
The mother says he left the military unit to get treatment because he did
not receive any treatment at the military unit.
The soldier and her mother are desperate. The mother appeals to everyone:
`Don't let my son die.' No one hears her voice. For the militaries Suren's
hunger strike is a challenge and their silence means they will win.
