On February 11, the Criminal Court of Yerevan resumed the hearing on the case of Vardan Jhangiryan, the brother of Armenia's ex Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangiryan. The defendant was again unable to appear before the court because of his poor health.
The defence motioned the court to let Jhangiryan undergo examination and treatment in Germany. Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan said the prayer couldn’t be considered without the defendant.
Remind that Vardan Jhangiryan is charged with violence against a government representative. He suffers from vertebral tuberculosis. Jhangiryan’s health aggravated after receiving a missile wound during the detention on February 23.
Armenian doctors are unable to help Jhangiryan. The advocates have filed a few motions to dismiss the case all of them have been denied.
The next hearing is scheduled for 11:00 February 27.
