25 jail wardens plead not guilty to assault of prisoners

Twenty-five jail wardens, including a former prison director and three lieutenants, on Sunday pleaded not guilty to abusing their authority and assaulting prisoners.

The Public Prosecution charged them with assault, which led to the permanent disability of an Armenian prisoner, abusing authority to beat prisoners and instigating jail wardens to beat prisoners. Source
