YEREVAN. - The European Court of Human Rights' (ECtHR) ruling - that is,
30,000-euro compensation for moral damages - in the `Poghosyan and
Baghdasaryan vs. the Rep. of Armenia' case will enter into force as of
this September, Aravot daily writes.
`By the way, the petitioner had demanded 280,000 from the ECtHR.
Armen Poghosyan, who was charged for the rape and murder of a small
child, was sentenced to fifteen years. [But] After serving 5.5 years,
he was released because it was found out that he was imprisoned
instead of another criminal.
Poghosyan made [formal] complaints, for years on end, [to the fact]
that he was not the one who had committed this crime, but they did not
believe him until when the real criminal confessed his crime.
Armen Poghosyan and his mother, Mrs. Baghdasaryan, had asked from the
European Court for compensation for moral damages, and not for
material [damages], which the Armenian courts had denied.
To note, Poghosyan is the first petitioner who asks the ECtHR for
money for compensation for moral damages,' Aravot writes.
