In recent days, there has been information circulating in the media and on social networks regarding the alleged physical violence suffered by Samvel Vardanyan during his transfer to the location where other detainees are held. According to NEWS.am, the Defender of Human Rights, Anna Manasyan, took the initiative to send representatives of the Ombudsman’s Office to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, in order to monitor and protect the detained citizens, including Samvel Vardanyan. It is important to highlight that Samvel Vardanyan is a young man who was involved in transporting military weapons for a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Defense, Jacob Aslanyan, and subsequently released.

These recent developments showcase the need for increased attention and monitoring of the treatment of detainees in our society. The actions taken by the Defender of Human Rights and the Ombudsman’s Office demonstrate a commitment to ensuring the well-being and fair treatment of detainees. This incident involving Samvel Vardanyan strikes a chord as it raises questions about the safety and security of individuals in custody. It is our responsibility, as a society, to address these concerns and work towards a just and humane criminal justice system.
