The court sitting of the case of Vardan Jhangiryan, brother of ex
Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangiryan, has been suspended today.
At about 10:00 a.m. chief inspectors Sayat Sargsyan and Anushavan
Eghikyan went to fetch Vardan Jhangiryan charged with violence against
a government representative. But finding him in bed with an apparatus
of artificial feeding their protocolled his health state noting that
he Jhangiryan was unable to attend the court sitting.
Therapist of clinic 5 Irina Martirosyan who has watched over
Jhangiryan’s health for a month said, "His bones ache all the time. His
state is worsening day by day. We have sent for a doctor already for
eight times. I must confess that he is getting no better. He can have
attacks of pain at any moment from any movement."
Doctor Narine Avryan said, "Jhangiryan should be treated for another
six months. He must get a bigger dose of medicine. This is a rare
ailment which needs long-lasting treatment. Jhangiryan’s lungs are also
infected. He shouldn’t move. Neither should he sit for a long time."
Remind, Vardan Jhangiryan suffers from spinal tuberculosis. His
health aggravated after missile wound received on February 23 during
the detention.
The court sitting resumed at 11.00, and Judge Mnatsakanyan read out
the protocols of chief inspectors.
Prosecutor Koryun Piloyan objected to advocates’ mediation to terminate
the case hearing noting that the advocates hadn’t submitted health
certificates beforehand. The court sitting was adjourned by the time
the advocates presented the required certificates. The next court
sitting is due at 11.00 December 26. The decision on compulsory
attendance is still in force.
