Jhangiran to leave for Europe
The Court of Criminal Appeals today suspended the court ruling on the case of Vardan Jhangiryan, the brother of Armenia's ex Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangiryan.
Vardan Jhangiryan's advocates had motioned Yerevan's Criminal Court for the case suspension as their client needed serious treatment abroad. But all motions had been turned down.
Remind that the judge in the case, Mnatsakan Mnatsakanyan, found Vardan Jhangiryan guilty and sentenced him to a three-year conditional sentence.
Vardan Jhangiryan suffers from vertebral tuberculosis. His health further aggravated after a missile wound received during the detention on February 23, 2008.
Today the advocates submitted a ticket for Europe and other documents required for Jhangiryan's departure. After the recess, Judge Masis Rehanyan and Prosecutor Koryun Piloyan arrived to announce the case suspended until Jahngiryan was able to attend court sittings.
Note that Vardan Jhangiryan is charged with violence against a government representative.
He didn't show up at today's sitting.
