Armenia's Criminal Court of Appeal considered behind closed doors and
eventually dismissed the complaint of Inessa Petrosyan, the attorney
representing political activist Shant Harutyunyan who was arrested on
Nov. 5 ahead of clashes with police and while calling for a revolution.
The defense was appealing a lower court's decision to send Harutyunyan
for psychiatric evaluation, which the defense states is a decision
"devoid of legal certitude," since why Harutyunyan had to be sent to
a psychiatric facility was not justified.
Harutyunyan's attorney said her client has not yet decided whether
they will appeal to the Court of Cassation or not.
Note, Harutyunyan was moved from Nubarashen psychiatric institution
to Yerevan-Kentron penitentiary.
