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.
