    WORKING GROUP FORMED BY INSTRUCTION OF ARMENIAN OMBUDSMAN VISITS
    ARRESTED ZHIRAYR SEFILYAN AND HIS ASSISTANT

    Yerevan, December 16. ArmInfo. A working group that was formed by the
    instruction of Armenian Ombudsman Armen Haroutunyan visited Zhirayr
    Sefilyan and his assistant Vardan Malkhasyan at the penitentiary
    Yerevan-Kentron, Friday. To recap, Sefilyan and Malkhasyan have been
    arrested for public calls for force change of power in
    Armenia. Zhirayr Sefilyan (a citizen of Lebanon) occupies the post of
    the Coordinator of "Union of Armenian Volunteers" public and patriotic
    initiative, Head of the public and patriotic organization "For
    protection of liberated territories."

    Armenian Ombudsman press-service reports the working group took first
    hand view of the conditions the arrested are kept in. Zhirayr Sefilyan
    and his assistant were not dissatisfied with the treatment of the
    penitentiary officers.

    However, they were dissatisfied that the court chose the arrest as a
    measure of restraint. They think they will not affect the
    investigation process if left at large. They called the arrest
    groundless. Zhirayr Sefilyan said all the speeches made at the meeting
    of the organization "For protection of liberated territories" were
    recorded and are kept by the National Security Council.
