The Court of Criminal Appeals today suspended the court ruling on
the case of Vardan Jhangiryan, the brother of Armenia's ex Prosecutor
General Gagik Jhangiryan.
Vardan Jhangiryan's advocates had motioned Yerevan's Criminal Court
for the case suspension as their client needed serious treatment
abroad. But all motions had been turned down.
Remind that the judge in the case, Mnatsakan Mnatsakanyan, found
Vardan Jhangiryan guilty and sentenced him to a three-year conditional
sentence.
Vardan Jhangiryan suffers from vertebral tuberculosis. His health
further aggravated after a missile wound received during the detention
on February 23, 2008.
Today the advocates submitted a ticket for Europe and other documents
required for Jhangiryan's departure. After the recess, Judge Masis
Rehanyan and Prosecutor Koryun Piloyan arrived to announce the case
suspended until Jahngiryan was able to attend court sittings.
Note that Vardan Jhangiryan is charged with violence against a
government representative.
He didn't show up at today's sitting.
