YEREVAN. - Yanis Sarkisov, who is charged with killing his wife,
Zaruhi Petrosyan, is on a hunger strike ever since February 17.
Sarkisov is protesting the Armenian Court of Appeals decision, Justice
Ministry Prison Department Public Relations Division Chief Gor
Ghlechyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
He also informed that Sarkisov is in satisfactory condition.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Court of Appeals had
refused the appeal by Yanis Sarkisov's lawyer, and thus the ruling by
the Ararat and Vayots Dzor Regions' First Instance Court of General
Jurisdiction remained unchanged.
According to this ruling, Yanis Sarkisov was sentenced to ten years in
prison for murdering his 20-year-old wife, Zaruhi Petrosyan.
Sarkisov's attorney had filed a complaint and claimed that Zaruhi had
committed suicide because of another relationship. But the Court of
Appeals considered the attorney's appeal unsubstantiated and did not
acquit Sarkisov. And the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction
had sentenced Yanis Sarkisov to ten years for cruelly beating his wife
to death.
