HELSINKI CITIZENS ASSEMBLY VANADZOR OFFICE DEMANDS PROSECUTION OF HIGH-RANKING ARMENIAN OFFICIALS
13:52 ~U 08.05.13
The Helsinki Citizens Assembly Vanadzor Office has issued a statement
demanding that Prosecutor General of Armenia Aghvan Hovsepyan order
the prosecution of a number of high-ranking officials.
The Helsinki Citizens Assembly Vanadzor Office is charging the
officials with illegally prosecuting a resident of Hrazdan, Haik
Movsisyan, thus forcing him into committing suicide.
Among the high-ranking officials in question are Armenia's Minister
of Defense Seyran Ohanayn, Military Prosecutor of Armenia Gevorg
Kostanyan, ex-chief of Armenia's Special Investigation Service A.
Mirzoyan, former judge of the Syunik regional court S. Aghabekyan,
as well as investigators and forensic experts.
The Helsinki Citizens Assembly Vanadzor Office considers their actions
"a flagrant crime against a human."
The dismissal of some of the officials is evidence of clear violations
of the principles of equality before the law and rule of law.
Failing to take the necessary legal measures will be viewed as a
cover-up of a crime against an Armenian citizen at the highest state
level and sponsorship of the persons that committed a crime against
justice, the statement reads.
