Tigran Arakelyan, an activist of the oppositional Armenian National
Congress, who was sentenced to 6 years in prison and has been in
custody for already a year, has disseminated an open letter. The
letter contains facts proving that the criminal case against ANC
activists was fully fabricated.
He says that the testimonies of police officers and other witnesses
were fabricated. Arakelyan tells that activists were treated violently
on the way to the police office.
In his letter, Arakelyan says that such incidents in Armenia will
continue unless those guilty in the incidents of March 1 2008 and in
the murder of military doctor Vahe Avetyan are punished.
To recall, the first instance court of the administrative communities
of Yerevan, Center-Nork-Marashmade a verdict regarding the activists
of Armenian National Congress, Tigran Arakelyan, Artak Karapetyan,
David Kiramijan and Sarkis Gevorkyan. Tigran Arakelyan was sentenced
to six years, Artak Karapetyan to three, Sargis Gevorgyan and Davit
Kiramijyan to two years in jail. Tigran Arakelyan was arrested with 6
other ANC activists for a fight with police officers on August 9 2011
in Yerevan. Later 6 activists were dismissed provided they do not
leave the country. Tigran Arakelyan was charged with hooliganism and
violence to power representative. ANC considers the verdict as a
political order.
