RA Criminal Court of Appeals Dismissed the Appeal

By its decision of April 30, the RA Criminal Court of Appeals refused to take into consideration, and review, appeals made by Nikol Pashinyan’s attorneys as well as those by the Prosecutor’s office.
Pashinyan’s attorneys, Lusine Sahakyan and Yervand Varosyan, received the decision yesterday. The attorneys demanded that the Court of Appeals repeal Pashinyan’s sentence and release him. The Prosecutor’s office had appealed to the court to increase the severity of the political prisoner’s sentence of seven years. Nikol Pashinyan’s attorney Lusine Sahakyan said to our reporter that they had predicted that the Court of Appeals would have refused to consider the case. “We would have been surprised if the court made another decision and had been guided by the law,” said the attorney. She also said that the preliminary appeal has already been taken to the European Court. In the nearest future the main appeal of the political prisoner will also be sent to the EU Court.
