"Who will wish his child to be among
criminals? It hurts us. But we are glad
that he has a point of view for which he
was willing to go to jail," says Hovhanes,
father of Jehovah's Witness Artur Grigoryan,
who is now in Nubarashen's isolation ward
for refusing to go to military service.
For six months "Tamar" didn't
tell her family about the event that shook
her soul and psyche. Nor did she tell authorities
until she felt enough time had passed to
be out of danger.
