Armenia's Appellate Court again adjourned the litigation of opposition
activist Tigran Arakelian on September 28.
Advocate Varduhy Elbakian informed A1+ that the judge in the case
had retired to bring a verdict in some other case.
The Court was to hear the advocate's appeal against a Yerevan
court which extended the defendant's restraint for another two
months. Varduhy Elbakian had also motioned for Tigran's release
on bail.
Remind that Tigran Arakelian is diagnosed with eye nerve infection.
Tigran Arakelian and some other HAK activists were confronted by a
group of plainclothes police officers in downtown Yerevan on July
1 while publicizing a rally held by the main opposition Armenian
National Congress (HAK) the next day.
Arakelian and two teenage HAK supporters were injured in the incident
and required hospitalization. They said they had been punched,
kicked and even pistol-whipped for informing Yerevan residents about
the rally.
Tigran Arakelian was charged with hooliganism (Article 258 of the
Criminal Code).
The next court sitting is scheduled for September 29.
