The examination of the appeal by Hayk Sandaljyan, Artur Pokharyan, and Vram Baghdasaryan (the latter accused in the May 12, 2010 murder of 23-year-old Khachik Mkrtchyan and sentenced to 14 years in prison) continued in the Court of Appeals today. At the last hearing, Pokharyan refused legal counsel and asked the court to grant him amnesty.
Baghdasaryan’s attorney, representative of the Yerevan-based Helsinki Association for Human Rights Gayane Khachatryan, presenting the appeal, noted that her client did not commit this murder, there was no evidence acquired through the criminal case, and furthermore, the facts were distorted during the investigation — in order to bring charges against her client.
