Where are the injured?
[07:38 pm] 12 March, 2009

Advocate Stepan Voskanyan was present during today’s trial of the
`Case of Seven’. Let us remind that the advocate of Grigor Voskerchyan
was in Georgia for the past two months. He is also the advocate of
member of the `United Javakhk’ presidency Vahagn Chakhalyan.

Let us remind that judge of the `Case of Seven’ Mnatsakan Martirosyan
decided yesterday to appeal to the Chamber of Advocates to apply
sanctions against Stepan Voskanyan.

Stepan Voskanyan considered the judge’s decision ungrounded and
announced that he has not violated the line of conduct of an
advocate. All advocates of the `Case of Seven’ stood up for Voskanyan
and announced that they would appeal to the Justice Council to make
judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan pay a fine.

Today Alla Hovhannisyan, mother of one of the victims of March 1
Tigran Khachatryan, presented a challenge petition to the
judge. According to her, the preliminary investigation body has not
given the answer to the most important question, that is, the names of
the police that fired and the judge should not have approved the
case. The judge rejected the challenge petition saying that a petition
with the ground has already been discussed.

Gor Kyolyan, father of one of the victims, asked where the injured
parties are, why they don’t come to court and took into consideration
the fact that there are 200 injured.

Mnatsakan Martirosyan, who is Judge of the First Instance Court of
Kentron and Nork-Marash districts, presented the staff of the court
and that turned into a basis for a new petition.

Grigor Voskerchyan presented the challenge petition of secretary of
the trial Varduhi Sargsyan and the judge entered the consultation room
to discuss the petition.
