  Armenian MPs banned from visiting jailed Sasna Tsrer members August 3, 2016 - 17:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Even parliamentarians are banned from visiting those arrested in the recent siege of the Yerevan police station, a Prosperous Armenia Party MP Vahe Enfiajyan said, according to Armenian media. According to Enfiajyan’s Facebook post, “on arriving on August at the Nubarashen penitentiary to visit the Sasna Tsrer armed group members with my colleague Levon Khachatryan we were informed that the preliminary investigation body bans any meetings with arrestees; the latter are disallowed from making phone calls, meeting with their families and mass media.” The MP further stated that legal measures will be undertaken to meet those arrested. Earlier, opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan was disallowed from visiting the injured members of Sasna Tsrer armed group at the Hospital for Convicts. As the MP stated in his Facebook post, “the heads of the Hospital for Convicts disregarded my right as an MP to see the members of Sasna Tsrer. This, in fact, means that an illegal political decision is being implemented to forbid me any communication with the detained or arrested members of Sasna Tsrer.” Related links:   Top stories The number of state universities will be reduced from 23 to 8 by 2030, Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Zhanna Andreasyan has said.
