8,000 Euros for keeping behind metal bars
Support A1+!The Republic of Armenia is liable to pay 8,000 Euros to Kamo Piruzyan as compensation for moral damage. This is the subsequent verdict that the European Court of Human Rights has released against the Republic of Armenia.
Kamo Piruzyan, who was arrested for an armed attack in Alaverdi on 18 August 2006 and then released, particularly protested that he had been kept behind metal bars during the trial. Now, the European Court has ruled that keeping a person behind metal bars during the trial is a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (prohibition of torture).
According to the ECHR, the Republic of Armenia has also violated Article 5 of the Convention (Right to Freedom and Personal Immunity) when he was kept in prison from February19-March 12, 2007 based on insufficient legal grounds. There was insufficient reasoning for the ongoing apprehension and the appeals have been denied.
