    Armenian Police official faults US human rights report

    Yerevan, 10 March: The Armenian Police disagrees with the criticism
    expressed in the report on human rights in 196 countries of the world
    published by the US Department of State.

    The chief of the main criminal investigation department of the
    Armenian Police, Col Ayk Militonyan, said at a press conference today
    that he does not know of a case when a detainee was denied medical
    aid. "If there are such specific facts, I would like to them to be
    submitted to me," he noted.

    At the same time, the department chief assumed that the authors of the
    report might have also confused different departments belonging to
    different organizations. It is worth noting that the Department of
    State also listed as violations registered in the republic death cases
    in the army in unclear circumstances, the beating of citizens by
    representatives of the law-enforcement agencies, detentions carried
    out without court sanction, the impunity of officers of the National
    Security Service and the Police, and conditions in prisons that do not
    meet medical standards.
