11:13, October 25, 2017 | News, Own newsHCA Vanadzor’s crime report on threats against journalist and publicist Mher Arshakyan was forwarded by the RA Prosecutor General’s Office to the RA Police Organized Crime Department.
We were informed of it by the letter of A. Mnatsakanyan, prosecutor at the Department for High-Profile Cases, RA Prosecutor General’s Office, dated October 9, 2017.
HCA Vanadzor filed a crime report after a Facebook user posted in the comments the threat below against Mher Arshakyan, author of the article entitled ‘Gorik Hakobyan. Monster’ posted on medialab.am news website after former head of NSS Gorik Hakobyan’s death: “Every morning hold and kiss your family good-bye before you leave home; you won’t get away with this article, you…outsiders’ son who passed no way of your own.”
The author of the comment, who was registered on Facebook by a name in Greek letters removed the comment and then deleted his account on the social website.
In its crime report to the RA Prosecutor General, HCA Vanadzor expressed its belief that the threats mentioned in the comment were more than real and aimed to intimidate the journalist and throw him into panic, which is a criminal offense.
HCA Vanadzor demanded initiating criminal proceedings, identifying and holding liable the person who made the threat.
