The Court of the First Instance of Kentron and Norq Marash communities
rejected the suit of photo correspondent of newspapers "Aravot"
and "Forth Power" Gagik Shamshyan against the RA Public Prosecutor’s
Office. Gagik Shamshyan demanded to revise the decisions about ceasing
the prosecution of those who were accused of violence against the
journalist.
He also demanded the Prosecutor’s office to give the photocopies of
the materials concerning the criminal case. Nevertheless, he was told
in the prosecutor’s office to bring photocopying equipment.
Let us remind you that on July 21, 2006, in the 6th street,
Noubarashen, unknown people attacked Gagik Shamshyan and cursed
him. The journalist made a statement in the police and asked to
initiate a criminal case.
Advocate of the journalist Zaruhi Postanjyan informed "A1+" that in
her opinion the court decision is illegal. They intend to appeal it
on February 12.
