The case involving attorneys Duana Grigoryan, Ara Zakaryan and Artur
Grigoryan, all charged with "disrespecting the institution of the
Court" will soon go to trial.
Attorney Diana Grigoryan told "Hetq" that, "We are presently studying
the court files after which we will make our motions.
All three have been charges with violating Article 343 of the RoA
Criminal Code. Armenia’s Human Rights Ombudsman Armen Harutunyan
has petitioned the Constitutional Court do review whether the
codes involved do not in fact contradict several clauses of the RoA
constitution.
All three attorneys refused to accept provisions of the general amnesty
that would have allowed for their release from responsibility stating
that they are innocent of all charges and expect to be vindicated
in court.
They claim that they are being persecuted for defending individuals
charged with various crimes surrounding the events of March 1, 2008.
