Davit Simonyan fined 150 000 drams
Davit Simonyan, charged with physical assault on Armenian National Congress (HAK) youth Vladimir Karapetyan, Vahagn Gevorgyan and Sargis Gevorgyan, pleaded guilty today at the Court of First Instance of Center and Nork-Marash Communities in Yerevan. The court ruled that Simonyan must pay a fine of 150.000 drams.
The HAK activists were beaten up on December 27, 2009, while spreading propaganda for deputy candidate Nikol Pashinyan.
Lawyer Stepan Voskanyan is going to challenge the verdict as he finds the court failed to hold an impartial inquest.
If the preinvestigation were unbiased more than ten people would appear on the felon's dock, said the lawyer.
