    MURAD BOJOLYAN RELEASED

    Tert.am
    10.06.11

    Murad Bojolyan, the only political prisoner remaining in jail after
    the parliament-declared amnesty, was released on Friday.

    A Turkish studies expert convicted over charges of espionage, Bojolyan
    was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

    The opposition alliance Armenian National Congress (ANC) considers
    him a political prisoner.

    Asked by Tert.am what served as grounds for releasing Bojolyan now
    given that June 12 was reported to be his sentence expiry date,
    a spokesperson for the ANC leader, Arman Musinyan, said: "Different
    dates were being circulated previously, with June 10 or 13 reported
    to be the possible dates. We were informed this morning that he will
    be released at 2 pm today."

    The ANC activist said Bojolyan was released upon the completion of
    his term of sentence.

    "There's no other explanation. He was not released under amnesty or
    whatever," Musinyan said.
