    ARMENIAN OMBUDSMAN'S OFFICE DIDN'T PROVIDE LAWYER BECAUSE IT LOST DEFENDANT'S CLAIM

    07.16.2014 21:45 epress.am

    Defendant in the case against Shant Harutyunyan and his friends Vardan
    Vardanyan in court today complained about the Armenian Ombudsman's
    office. He said he had asked the Ombudsman to provide counsel, but he
    was just informed that his request remained unanswered as it was lost.

    "Now I want to address the Ombudsman's written statement which reads
    that the papers were lost. How can someone's document be lost then
    get lost again? They also wrote that the corresponding employee will
    deal with the matter. Will you tell [me] what does 'corresponding
    employee' mean? Doesn't he have a name, a position? So that the paper
    won't get lost again, I said let me give it to you [the court]. This
    once again proves that the authorities use every means against us,"
    said the defendant, directing his remarks to the judge.

    Recall, Harutyunyan and several of his supporters were arrested on
    November 5, 2013, at the start of an anti-government march. They are
    accused of "hooliganism" involving weapons or objects used as weapons.

    Several local human rights activists and international organizations
    consider the men political prisoners.
