    SARGIS HATSPANYAN TO QUIT JAIL ON JUNE 9

    Tert.am
    08.06.11

    French-Armenian political prisoner and a former hero of the Karabakh
    liberation war, Sargis Hatspanyan, will be set free tomorrow.

    The Penitentiary Department of the Armenian Justice Ministry told
    Tert.am that his term of imprisonment expires on Thursday, June 9.

    Hatspanyan was jailed over charges of false crime reporting accompanied
    by grave or particularly grave crime (Clause 1, Section 2 of Article
    333 pf the Armenian Criminal Code).

    He had told the media that Armenia's second president, Robert
    Kocharyan, was plotting a death attempt against Serzh Sargsyan.

    The opposition alliance Armenian National Congress considers Hatspanyan
    a political prisoner. Following the parliament declared amnesty,
    Hatspanyan, together with another political prisoner, Murad Bojolyan,
    continues to remain in prison. Bojolyan's term of imprisonment expires
    in a couple of days' time.
