/PanARMENIAN.Net / The second hearing on Vahagn Chakhalyan's case was
held in Tbilisi court on May 29. The court had to consider Georgian
Justice Ministry's refusal to register Patrick Arapian as Chakhalyan's
defender, Yerkir Union told PanARMENIAN.Net.
However, the Justice Ministry submitted some documents and then the
judge postponed the session.
On April 6, the Akhaltsikhe district court has found United Javakhk
Democratic Alliance leader Vahagn Chakhalyan guilty and sentenced
him to 10 years in prison and 18,000 lari ($10,650) fine.
After a wave of protests in mid April, Georgian Ambassador to France
Mamuka Kudava pledged to urge Georgian authorities to register Arapian
as Chakhalyan's defender.
