"Vardan Jhangiryan’s state is still most concerning. He is still in
bed and needs rest cure. Jhangiryan suffers from a few diseases which
cannot be cured in Armenia," says Lusine Sahakyan, Advocate of ex
Deputy Prosecutor Gagik Jhangiryan and his brother Vardan Jhangiryan.

Remind that Vardan Jhangiryan, charged with violence against a
government representative, suffers from vertebral tuberculosis. His
health further aggravated after receiving a missile wound during the
detention on February 23, 2008. Today he has serious health problems.

The next court sitting is due at 10.00, January 20. The previous
sittings were adjourned because of the defendant’s poor health. Judge
Martirosyan has confirmed the standing judgment on Jhangiryan’s
compulsory attendance.

Note that the advocates have submitted numerous medical certificates
about the defendant’s state. They are going to send new documents
certifying Jhangiryan’s ill health and file a petition for the case
dismissal.

The court ruling on the case of Gagik Jhangiryan will continue on
January 15. The court will hear the policemen invited by Jhangiryan’s
advocates.
