Preliminary inquiry of HAK activists’ case ends
Armenian National Congress (HAK) activists Tigran Arakelyan's Sargis Gevorgyan's and Artak Karapetyan's attorneys yesterday received the materials of the case against the activists after the end of the preliminary inquiry.
Sargis Gevorgyan's attorney Stepan Voskanyan told "A1+" that the lawyers hadn't given a reasonable timeframe for getting acquainted with the case materials. "We had asked for 30 days, but the prosecutors only gave us four days," Stepan Voskanyan said.
The lawyer mentioned that the decision on granting four days for getting acquainted with the case materials will be appealed during the trial on September 4. Let us remind that seven HAK activists, including Tigran Arakelyan, Artak Karapetyan, Sargis Gevorgyan, Areg Gevorgyan, Sahak Muradyan, David Kiramijyan and Vahagn Gevorgyan were arrested after the incident that took place near Swan Lake on August 9.
They were charged with the attributes of Articles 316 and 258 of the RA Criminal Code for hooliganism and assault against an authority representative. However, imprisonment was selected as a precautionary measure for only Tigran Arakelyan.
