Tamamyan’s case to be examined tomorrow
On September 14, the Special Investigative Service of Armenia will submit to the court of general jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts of Yerevan a petition to extend the imprisonment of former chief of the chief department of criminal investigation of the RA Police, general-major Hovhannes Tamamyan for two months.
As correspondents of the Special Investigative Service told "A1+", Tamamyan's imprisonment is due to the need for continuing the preliminary inquiry of his case without any hindrances. Let us remind that the SIS is submitting its third petition for selecting imprisonment as a precautionary measure for Tamamyan.
General-Major Tamamyan is charged with misuse of official powers. He was arrested on March 24 and his time in prison ends on September 18.
Today, presses spread information according to which Hovhannes Tamamyan and former Chief of RA Road Police Margar Ohanyan are in the same cell. According to presses, editor-in-chief of "Haykakan Zhamanak" daily newspaper Nikol Pashinyan was also kept in that same cell.
Head of Public Relations at the RA Penitentiary Department Gor Ghlechyan confirmed this information. He told "A1+" that that was simply a coincidence and that the cell was no different from the other cells.
