Hunger Striker Fed Forcefully
Today several advocatory organizations made an announcement about the conditions in which 114-day hunger striker Razmik Sargsyan is kept in the isolation cell.
According to the organizations, Razmik Sargsyan is kept in completely different conditions in the isolator. After he fell in a faint yesterday in the court room, the doctor ordered to take him to hospital. Instead, he was taken to an isolation cell where 6 other prisoners persuade him to eat and eat meals themselves.
According to the advocates, three days ago he was fed forcefully which is prohibited by international norms. According to the Red Cross, they have no right to feed a hunger striker against his will. «In one word, they do whatever they want with the boy».
