"Kalashnikovs" taken off the wall
The court upheld editor-in-chief of "Haykakan Zhamanak", political prisoner Nikol Pashinyan's two petitions. The trial is in progress at the "Kosh" penitentiary to determine whether Pashinyan's imprisonment will be reduced or not.
The first petition was related to the pictures of "Kalashnikovs" on the walls of the courtroom.
"I understand that the Armenian authorities like "Kalashnikovs" very much, but those pictures have an impact on the attendees' psychological state," said Nikol Pashinyan as he intermediated to take them off. With his second petition Nikol Pashinyan demanded that his notebook be brought from the former room.
At this moment, Nikol Pashinyan has his notebook, the pictures have been collected and the trial is in progress.
In the case of an affirmative verdict reached by the general jurisdiction court of Aragatsotni province, Nikol Pashinyan's imprisonment will be reduced by 4 months.
