Biography

On February 28, 2022, the Russian occupation army captured Berdyansk.
On September 30, 2022, Russian law enforcement agencies opened a criminal case against Tyhran Ohanysian, as well as another teenager from Berdyansk, Mykyta Khanganov.
Tyhran Ohanysian, according to the organization, was kidnapped from his home in Berdyansk, where he lived with his grandmother.
For five days, the relatives did not know anything about the whereabouts of the child.
Tyhran Ohanysian was severely interrogated by the investigating authorities with beatings and electric shock torture.
Investigators demanded that the guy confesses to preparing a sabotage on the Melitopol railway, which supposedly was supposed to prevent units of the occupying Russian army from receiving supplies necessary for combat operations in Ukraine.
Five days later, after the publicity in the media about the disappearance of the child, Tyhran Ohanysian was released on the condition that he would appear daily at the local “law enforcement agencies.”
