Support A1+!
Today the police escort sent after Vardan Jhangiryan, the brother of ex Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangiryan, returned to the court without the defendant. Chief inspectors of Kentron and Nork-Marash District Police Division Sayat Sargsyan and Anushavan Eghikyan again found Vardan Jhangiryan in bed with a doctor injecting him anaesthetic. Representatives of the Ombudsman’s Office, journalists and advocates were at Jhangiryan’s place at that moment.
“It is the second time I have examined Jhangiryan this week, and I must say that he needs bed rest. He feels pain at each movement. His state is the same. He needs serious in-patient treatment,” said district doctor Irina Martirosyan.
Remind that Vardan Jhangiryan suffers from vertebral tuberculosis. His health further aggravated after receiving a missile wound during the detention on February 23.
Today at 11:00 Yerevan’s Criminal Court chaired by Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan reopened the trial of Vardan Jhangiryan which was immediately adjourned because of the defendant’s nonattendance. This time Judge Martirosyan didn’t even wait for the police escort or the advocates. He confirmed the standing judgment on Jhangiryan’s compulsory attendance and scheduled the next court sitting for January 20.
Note that Advocate Lusine Sahakyan who was hurrying to the court to submit a health certificate about her defendant’s state and petition the judge to dismiss the case, was surprised to find the trial completed.
