“The injuries are horrifying: cranial wounds on the right side of his head caused by a sharp, cutting instrument, severe abrasions and contusions to the kidneys, internal organs, right ear and eye, all injuries which point to the conclusion that he was viciously and inhumanely beaten.
The quantity and severity of the injuries made him incompatible with life”, human rights activist Artur Sakunts told social media, www. Henaran.am as he related the death account of NK NA term serviceman, Aghasi Geghami Abrahamyan.
On August 26, 2011 soldier Aghasi Abrahamyan, was taken in an unconscious state to the hospital, where he subsequently died. Henaran.am disseminated the information and that the criminal case was filed under Point 14, Part 2 of Article 112 of the RA Criminal Code/Infliction of willful heavy damage to health, which causes the death of the aggrieved by negligence/. As of this date, no one has been arrested over the death case. The human rights activist noted in an interview that a criminal case should have been filed,not under the features of the aforementioned article, but under the features of a murder. “It was indeed an assassination”. At the beginning, the unit commander spread rumors and speculated that the solder was suffering from epilepsy. He justified Abrahamyan’s death by claiming that the soldier lost consciousness and was taken to the medical center, where he fell off a bed, which caused the many injuries”. Sakunts, the human rights activist who witnessed the dead body of the murdered soldier and the death certificate in person, told Henaran.am reporting that numerous injuries were recorded while the cause of the death was “ambiguously and vaguely” termed. Artur Sakunts has also talked with the parents of the deceased soldier. They told Sakunts that Aghasi had a phone conversation with his mother, grandmother and sister, two days before the incident. The mother told the human rights activist that her son was in low spirits, but they did not know what the problem was.
Aghasi Geghami Abrahamyan was serving in the notorious “Eghnikner” Military Unit.
