ADVOCATE APPEALS TO CASSATION COURT

Politics


Advocate Seda Safaryan has filed a motion to the Cassation Court to dissolve the case of the former head of the Interior Ministry Detention Department Mushegh Saghatelyan. “Mushegh Saghatelyan is innocent. We demand that the Cassation Court close the case and stop prosecution against Saghatelyan,” says Seda Safaryan.


Remind that on October 23 Yerevan’s Criminal Court announced a verdict of sentencing Mushegh Saghatelyan to five years’ imprisonment. Saghatelyan was charged under Article 316 of the Criminal Code (violence against a government representative) and Article 235 (acquisition and transportation of illegal weapon). He was also fined 900.000 drams.


Note that the Court of Appeals had left the decision of the Criminal Court unchanged.
