AVETISSIAN SENTENCED TO SIX MONTHS IMPRISONMENT

Social

Aslan Avetissian, resident of Ararat region, member of the Yerkrapah Volunteer Union (YKM) and Levon Ter-Petrossian’s proxy, was sentenced to a six months’ imprisonment on July 16. The verdict was brought in by Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts after a four hours’ consultation.

Aslan Avetissian was charged with calls for mass disorders and threats against policemen /Article 225 of the RoA CC/.

Note, Prosecutor Hovsep Sarkissian had requested to sentence Avetissian to a 1, 6-year imprisonment. Avetissian didn’t plead guilty of the crime.

Advocate Liparit Simonian finds the verdict unfair. He is going to appeal the verdict in a higher instance. Simonian says courts are not independent in Armenian.
