Shahen Harutyunyan fined in the amount of AMD 150 000
On September 6, 2017, the Administrative Court of Armenia partly satisfied the suit filed by the Armenian Police against civil activist Shahen Harutyunyan. The Court fined Harutyunyan in the amount of AMD 150.000. RA Police demanded that he be held accountable for the first part of Article 180.1, for holding rallies and processions on March 17-20, 2017, without notifying the head of the community of the procedure established by law. The Police demanded that Shahen Harutyunyan be liable under Article 180.1(1) of the RA Code of Administrative Offenses for holding assemblies and marches on March 17-20, 2017 without notifying the head of the community as prescribed by law. Initially, the Yerevan Municipality filed 4 different claims with the same demand. At the examination of the 1st one on June 20, 2017, Sh. Harutyunayn’s representative, Tatevik Siradeghyan, lawyer at Yerevan office of HCA Vanadzor, motioned to merge them into the same proceedings as they all had the same demand.
