IS NOT EXAMINED YET?

Politics

Vardan Malkhasyan, participant of Nagorno-Karabakh war will not be released ahead of time. The administrative commission of Vardashen penitentiary examined Vardan Malkahasyan’s case and decided not to submit a petition on releasing the sentenced ahead of time.

As it is known, on the first day in the Nubarashen penitentiary, Sefilyan incurred a penalty for not speaking with “You” with the deputy head of the penitentiary and for accusing judges in implementing orders.

By punishing Sefilyan, the heads of Nubarashen penitentiary were released from the responsibility to submit a corresponding petition on releasing Sefilyan ahead of time. Vardan Malkhasyan’s case was more complicated, but the heads of the penitentiary were more prudent in giving the following explanation to Malkhasyan’s attorney Mushegh Shushanyan: “The individuality of Vardan Malkhasyan is not examined yet”.

Mushegh Shushanyan informed “A1+” that he had tried to find out what that explanation meant and received the following respond. “They told me that Vardan Malkhasyan was brought to Vardashen penitentiary recently and they had not managed to deal with him much to get some idea of his individuality. Vardan has been in Vardashen penitentiary for a month and if they wanted they could have some idea of his personality or could turn to Yerevan penitentiary where he was kept before Vardashen and get corresponding information about him”, said the attorney.

Mushegh Shushanyan considers that responds from Vardashen penitentiary prove that we deal with the arbitrariness of the authorities and until 2008 presidential elections Zhirayr Sefilyan and Vardan Malkhasyan will not be released. “We may confirm that their arrest was a political order”, said Mushegh Shushanyan. By the way, Shushanyan intends to appeal against the decision of the Appeal Court on Malkhasyan’s case at the Court of Cassation.

We should remind that Vardan Malkhasyan was accused of calls to bring down the authorities and was sentenced to 2 years of imprisonment.
