the complaint of opposition activist Grisha Virabian who had emigrated
to Belgium, Aysor.am was informed by Arsen Babayan, the head of the
RA Judicial Department's International Cooperation and PR Service.
The Sirunian legal advice office filed on September 6 a complaint,
asking the Court of Cassation to review the criminal case in view of
new circumstances.
Let us remind you that in December of 2012, the European Court of
Human Rights sustained the claim of former member of the People's
Party of Armenia, Grisha Virabian - who was granted political asylum
in Belgium - against the Armenian government. The ECHR ruled that
the government must pay 25 thousand Euros as a moral compensation to
the plaintiff and 6 thousand Euros in compensation for legal costs
(a total sum of 31 thousand Euros).
According to the ECHR website, when examining the Grisha Virabian
case, the ECHR found violations of several articles of the European
Convention on Human Rights. G. Virabian participated in a protest
on Baghramian Avenue in Yerevan on April 12, 2004. He was detained
by law enforcers, beaten up by policemen and taken to the Artashat
city hospital with multiple injuries.
