/PanARMENIAN.Net/ December 21 Armenia's permanent representative in
the Council of Europe Christian Ter-Stepanian signed the additional
protocol to the CoE Convention on Transfer of Sentenced Persons. The
protocol provides for principal mechanisms of transfer of sentenced
persons from the state that passed the verdict to the native state
as well as service of sentence in the homeland.
The Convention has been valid in Armenia since 2001 and its purpose
is to contribute to social integration of convicted via serving the
sentence in the homeland. It allows avoiding grave consequences
of imprisonment in a foreign state (difficulties with the language,
meetings with family members, etc.), reports the RA MFA press office.
