ArmInfo. General Manvel Grigoryan is located at the "Nairi" Medical Ccenter, he was transferred there from a penitentiary. Armenian Ombudsman Arman Tatoyan said this on July 15 in an interview with journalists.
He noted that after Grigoryan had been transported to a medical center, the Ombudsman's office officers visited him, examined his medical card and concluded that there were no proper conditions in the prison to provide him with the necessary treatment.
"We immediately stated that Grigorian needed to be transferred to a civilian hospital. A few hours after my statement, the ECHR followed that Grigorian needed to be taken to Nairi Medical Center. "The ECHR literally stated the same thing that I noted a few hours ago, because we work according to the same standards. Regardless of what a person is accused of, if there are no necessary conditions in a penitentiary institution, the initiative that he is not should be moved to a medical center, is wrong. That is why the ECHR recommended Armenia to exclude such interventions, "said Tatoyan, noting that this is yet another proof that the position of the Armenian Ombudsman and the ECHR is the same. The Hefender of human Rights noted that he could not assess the torture against the general. "If Manvel Grigoryan continued to be in the prison, it would be regarded as torture," said Tatoyan. It should be noted that the European Court of Human Rights on June 6 granted the request of Manvel Grigoryan of June 5, 2019 to take an interim measure in accordance with the 39th rule of the European Court.
