The European Court of Human Rights has upheld Armenian lawyer Vahe
Grigoryan's claim against the Republic of Armenia (CASE OF GRIGORYAN
v. ARMENIA Application no. 3627/06).
Now the Government of Armenian must pay 2,500 EUR to Vahe Grigoryan.
The latter was the lawyer for the residents expelled from their homes
on Byuzand Street in Yerevan for state needs. On 7 Oct 2005 Grigoryan
was detained on the charge of fraud and forgery. On October 10, the
court chose arrest as a measure of restraint. The Court of Appeal
left the first instance court's judgment unchanged. Afterwards the
arrest was extended for two months.
The European Court considers the arrest of Vahe Grigoryan to violate
Article 5 Part 1 ("right to liberty") and Article 5 Part 6 ("fair
trial") of the European Convention on Human Rights.
