ArmInfo. The health of 18-year-old schoolboy David Minasyan, who was arrested for two months following the incident at St. Anne Church involving Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, has worsened. Lawyer Lusine Martirosyan reported this on her Facebook page.
According to her, Minasyan is experiencing headaches, dizziness, and high blood pressure, adding that they periodically visit their client in the hospital during the day. "His health has deteriorated. The only thing that gives him hope is that he is under medical supervision. No child is immune from what is happening to David Minasyan today. Tomorrow, the same thing could happen to your children," the lawyer wrote.
As a reminder, on April 1, an Armenian court ordered 18-year-old David Minasyan's pretrial detention for two months. The investigation accuses him of offenses under Part 1 of Article 297 of the RA Criminal Code (hooliganism) and Part 3 of Article 452 of the RA Criminal Code (interference with the lawful official or political activity of an official), which carries a prison sentence of two to five years. The defense intends to appeal the court's decision. The incident occurred on March 29 at St. Anne's Church on Palm Sunday during the liturgy, when Pashinyan, accompanied by security, was heading for the exit. At that moment, Minasyan made a sharp movement with his hand toward the prime minister, but his hand was pulled back by bodyguards. That same day, footage circulated online showing a member of the security service delivering a powerful punch to David Minasyan's face, causing the young man to fall and, upon rising, struggle for a long time. It is noteworthy that the Investigative Committee opened a case under the Criminal Code article "interference in the lawful official or political activity of an official," despite Prime Minister Pashinyan himself repeatedly stating that he attends Sunday liturgies solely as an ordinary parishioner of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
