Support A1+!
The Appellate Court of the Republic of Armenia will hear the protest against the Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts on January 16. Remind that the protest has been entered by the advocates of the member of the Republic Party Smbat Ayvazyan.
Remind that on November 19, 2008 the Court of General Jurisdiction sentenced Smbat Ayvazyan to two years’ of prison for carrying illegal weapon and using violence against a government representative.
The advocates had challenged the court decision stating Ayvazyan’s arrest was not grounded. Besides, the advocates said they hadn’t had a chance to invite their witnesses to the sittings. The court found that during the arrest Ayvazyan displayed disrespect for law and resisted to the policemen.
Remind that Smbat Ayvazyan was detained on February 24, 2008 when returning home from an opposition rally.
