Jailed Sasna Dzrer member Pavlik Manukyan has ended his hunger strike according to a Facebook post by his lawyer Inesa Petrosyan.

In a letter allegedly written by Manukyan, he says that he is ending his hunger strike on the orders of his commander Jirayr Sefilian and the wish of the people.

Earlier in the day, Sefilian, a member of the Founding Parliament jailed on charges of illegal arms possession, had written to Manukyan, requesting that the wounded man end his hunger strike.
