Warm greetings from "Armavir" prison. I was informed that my defender Ruben Melikyan has already informed me about the problems related to my health, and I want to explain the situation a little more. First of all, before we were illegally deprived of our liberty in December of last year, I had an elective surgery that was planned back in September-October.
Since the regime arrested me for the word "butt", the operation did not take place, and the prison conditions made the situation even worse, and we had to contact the doctor treating me to visit the "Armavir" prison.
We wrote this application on January 5, and on the 7th day of my hunger strike after the extension of the illegal detention, the doctor had the opportunity to visit and examine me. In other words, only 10 days after submitting the application, the doctor was given the opportunity to visit me. Now, when the doctor has indicated an urgent surgical intervention, the same service puts forward unclear requirements and says that the given indication can be performed in at least 10 days.
In other words, they keep me in direct captivity without the existence of a criminal record, the superior court says: you detained illegally, after that they extend the term of captivity for 3 months with a new illegal decision, after that I have nothing left but to express my protest through a hunger strike, then they transfer me, the hunger striker, to the punishment cell, and now they say: "We cannot transfer earlier than 10 days, that's the order." Now imagine what level of immoral criminal regime we are dealing with.
One of the goals of my hunger strike was to show all this to the widest possible masses. Not those who have been through the struggle since 2018 or those who have experienced the inhumanity of the regime on their own skin, but those who have always been "away from politics".
I wanted to bring all this to the closed eyes of the international community, which is what the AntiFake.am team has done during this period, with the active support of famous politicians and public figures. Now we have reached the bottom of the bottom, when the inhumanity of their government is already a recorded fact and it will surely go down beyond the bottom of the bottom in the coming days.
Now about those responsible for all this. I am more than sure that neither the management of the "Armavir" Penitentiary, nor the management of the "Penitical Medicine Center" SNOC are not interested in all this, they even sympathize, but the people who commit illegalities will bear personal responsibility for all of this in the future.
With the same success both in the prosecutor's office, in the judicial system, and in the investigative committee, there are certainly virtuous people who respect their profession, but those who have immersed themselves in political persecution and the duty to carry out the regime's instructions will be punished for it in the future. I continue to look at all this with a smile and, frankly, I am sure that there will be more "surprises" ahead.
I am waiting for those surprises, because the list of individuals responsible for all this is increasing. There is nothing to say about those who ordered all of this, what was said has been said, but, as they say, Stalin was the orderer of the Soviet repressions, but who were those who wrote so many fingerprints? PS On the 9th day of the hunger strike, no representative of any state body visited me, the HRD did not visit me, despite the fact that I did not expect them, but at least in the case of HRD it was a duty.
Stay well, and freedom to all political prisoners. Determination, self-sacrifice, victory. Narek Samsonyan, a political prisoner on hunger strike 9th day of hunger strike 65th day of illegal detention "Armavir" penitentiary, prison cell N6 17.01.2026
