Armenia: Opposition editor`s trial begun

CJTeam, Yerevan, 27 Oct 2009 – Today, the courthouse of Shengavit community, chaired by Judge of Kentron and Nork-Marash communities Mnatsakan Martirosyan, continued the trial, begun on October 20, against the chief editor of opposition newspaper “Haykakan Zhamanak” (“Armenian Times”) Nicol Pashinyan.

Pashinyan is charged with part 1 of Article 225 of the RA Criminal Code (“organizing mass disorder”) and Part 1 of Article 316 (“assault against a state representative”). Wanted Pashinyan surrendered to authorities on July 1.

“Accusation made against me is like tale the Death of Kikos,” said Pashinian at the court session, held on October 26.

According to News.am, for an hour Pashinyan has been trying to get an explanation from Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan as what, finally, he is accused of. But – to no avail, the judge with meaningless eyes looked around, refusing to comply with the requirements of the law.
