YEREVAN COURT REJECTS ACTIVIST'S APPEAL, REFUSES TO PERSECUTE GUILTY PARTY
02.19.2014 14:01 epress.am
The Court of First Instance of Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun
Administrative Districts of Yerevan on Tuesday rejected activist Karo
Yeghnukyan's complaint, with which he was asking the court to overturn
the police decision to terminate persecution of the individual who
committed a crime against him.
The court's actions, according to Yeghnukyan, was predictable and
determined in advance, though the judge asked for time to go to the
consultation room.
Recall, the case refers to the tires of Yeghnukyan's vehicle being
slashed. The activist claims he is being persecuted because he
organized protest demonstrations against the Covered Market, which
now houses a Yerevan City supermarket, owned by ruling Republican
Party of Armenia MP, oligarch Samvel Aleksanyan.
The police stated that it has identified the person guilty of the crime
(though it did not name anyone); the person in question confessed
his guilt, saying that he was drunk when he slashed the tires of the
car. But the case was quashed due to the absence of corpus delicti.
The police assessed the damage valued at $1,000 USD at about 30,000
AMD (about $73).
Yeghnukyan informed Epress.am that he is preparing to appeal the
decision at the Court of Appeals.
