In the wake of the recent prison break from the Nubarashen Penitentiary in which two convicts serving life sentences escaped by climbing down a rope hung from the outer wall, two more officials were charged and taken into custody by the RoA Special Investigative Service. Lieutenant-Colonel Manuk Mikayelyan, Assistant to the Director of the Nubarashen Correctional Facility in charge of security, and Lieutenant-Colonel Serzhik Tamrazyan, in charge of convicts serving life sentences, were charged with administrative negligence. They join three other penitentiary officials now in custody on the same charges. The two escaped convicts are still at large.
