ANC representative in court
Armenian National Congress activist Tigran Arakelyan, who has been in prison for the past three months, protested the examiner's decision to partially terminate criminal persecution at the general jurisdiction court of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts in Yerevan.
He is protesting the actions of policemen who beat him and were not punished.
As Tigran Arakelyan's representative Armen Khachatryan stated, they demand correct qualifications of the policemen's actions.
Tigran Arakelyan was arrested on July 5 of last year and was charged with assaulting a state representative, but was released on October 8 and his precautionary measure was changed. On April 19, the examiner took the decision to justify Tigran Arakelyan due to lack of a corpus delicti.
"Is this the kind of attitude of the court, the examiner and the prosecutor for not doing anything in the case of a false testimony?" says Tigran Arakelayn.
Judge Gayane Karakhanyan today was forced to postpone the trial since the Kentron investigative department of the Police had refused to provide Tigran Arakelyan with the materials of the criminal case.
Tigran Arakelyan's representative Armen Khachatryan sees tendency in the preliminary investigative body's actions.
The next trial will be held on September 28 at 10:30 a.m.
