The European Court of Human Rights made a judgment on Virabyan vs.
Armenia case on October 2. Former supporter of the People's Party
of Armenia G. Virabyan's case has been under the consideration of
the European Court since 2005. G. Virabyan will get ~@31 thousand in
compensation, of which 25 thousand will be for moral damage.
We congratulated counselor Tigran Ter-Yesayan who had filed a petition
in the ECHR regarding the Virabyan case. In response to our question
on what points in the case he had made a special emphasis, he said
that they had appealed the decision on inhuman treatment, torture,
discrimination, rights to freedom of movement and vote.
T. Ter-Yesayan informed that during the events of April 2004 (after
the presidential election), the local police staff of the Ararat
region inflicted serious bodily injuries on G. Virabyan, as a result
of which he underwent serious surgery. His case was not considered in
the Republic of Armenia and as Ter-Yesayan says, the European Court
paid particular attention to the torture and discrimination against G.
Virabyan. According to the counselor, the victim's statement was
disregarded in Armenia, the case was not considered, since it was
related to his political activities. Ter-Yesayan is satisfied with
the decision of the European Court, regardless of the fact that it
wasn't an easy victory and took 8 years.
Ter-Yesayan expressed his sincere gratitude to the press, Aravot,
which were able to cover the events that took place in 2003-04,
expressed gratitude to the newspapers that covered the events that
took place at the time with reservations.
