Will the case be discontinued?
Vardan Jhangirian's advocates today demanded the Court of Criminal Appeals to discontinue the defendant's case.
The Court of Criminal Appeals today heard the advocates' appeal against Yerevan's Criminal Court sentencing Vardan Jhangirian to three years of prison.
Remind that ex Deputy Prosecutor General of Armenia Gagik Jhangirian and his brother Vardan Jhangirian were detained on February 23, 2008. Vardan Jhangirian suffers from spinal tuberculosis and needs a serious treatment. His health further aggravated after a missile wound received on February 23 during the detention.
Only after the Court made e decision to change the preventive punishment, the defendant was allowed to leave the country.
The advocates submitted relevant documents from embassies certifying that the issue of visa is being delayed as Jhangiryan's guiltiness or innocence hasn't been proved.
The Court will make a final decision on June 5.
Vardan Jhangirian is charged with violence against a government representative.
