LAWYER OF ARMEN CHAKHALIAN FILES APPEAL AGAINST COURT DECISION
Thursday,
July 04
Armen Chakhlian's lawyer has filed an appeal against the court decision
to arrest Chakhalian for two months, Armen Chakhalian's brother,
Vahagn Chakhalian, told Aysor.am.
In his words, there are numerous gaps in the charge brought against
his brother.
"Of the 150 people involved in the scuffle, only one man said that he
saw him on the scene of the incident. And none of the victims said that
Armen had beaten them. According to them, they saw Armen lying on the
ground, but the prosecutor wrote that Armen had participated in the
scuffle, based on which the court made a decision about a two-month
preliminary arrest," V. Chakhalian said. He noted that if there is
any justice in Georgia, his brother will be released immediately.
Vahagn Chakhalian told Aysor.am earlier that he links his brother's
arrest with his own political activities.
"My brother went to settle a quarrel, but he was detained based
on evidence of one man. We were informed that he was beaten up in
the police car. My brother was charged with hooliganism," Vahagn
Chakhalian noted.
We would remind you that Georgian law enforcers detained Armen -
the brother of activist Vahagn Chakhalian - due to his participation
in the unrest in Ninotsminda. He was charged with organizing unrest
in Ninotsminda.
