ARMENIAN EX-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO PETITION TO EUROPEAN COURT
April 23, 2013 | 13:36
YEREVAN. - The Armenian Court of Appeal returned the appeal that was
submitted to it in connection with the arrest of ex-presidential
contender, non-party affiliate, and epic poetry specialist Vardan
Sedrakyan. "Now, we are preparing the petition to the European Court
of Human Rights," the Sirunyan Law Office told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, capital city Yerevan's
Kentron and Nork-Marash General Jurisdiction Court on March 5
sentenced Vardan Sedrakyan to two months in prison. The National
Security Service had filed a petition to have Sedrakyan incarcerated.
The former presidential candidate is charged with giving the directive
for the failed assassination attempt against fellow ex-presidential
contender, opposition National Self-Determination Union Chairman,
Paruyr Hayrikyan.
Sedrakyan's attorney, Aleksandr Sirunyan, appealed the ruling on
Sedrakyan's detention and also petitioned to the investigator to
present the grounds for the charge. But the appeal on Sedrakyan's
detention was turned down on March 18. As a result, they petitioned
to the Court of Appeal.
Separately, the National Security Service laid new charges against
Vardan Sedrakyan on April 16.
