The review of the appeal Robert Revazyan (in the photo), member of the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Armenia, advocate of USSR multiple boxing champion Armen Khaloyon commenced today at the RA Court of Criminal Appeals chaired by judge Henrik Ter-Adamyan.
The lawyer sued the Special Investigation Service, and is litigating its idleness.
SIS has refused to bring criminal charges based on the report of Mr. Khaloyan.
Armen Khaloyan who was sentenced to five years in prison stated that he was tortured and subjected to torture at the Arabkir Police Department, and at the reception of Police Chief Vladimir Gasparyan, where he had gone at the request of private reception, was injured with a chair by his assistant M. Hakobyan.
By the way, it’s true that no biological testing was conducted to determine the identity of blood, but the forensic examination confirmed that A. Khaloyan had been injured. In the place where the arrested are kept, the injuries committed by the police “were not seen”.
The sharp, piercing and transparent injury caused by the chair, according to Robert Revazyan, his client could not get because any sharp, protruding ridge was not found on the chair.
Today, the defendant was present in court, the investigator of the Special Investigation Service Rafael Amirkhanyan.
At the hearing of this appeal at Kentron and Nork Marash General Jurisdiction Court, judge the SIS was presented by Kamo Khachatryan, who pursuant to his application was resigned from his job. The investigator said that the claim of the advocate is intangible, which is to bring to criminal charges.
SIS, by its initiative, has brought to criminal charges based on the requirements of the previous appeal, but did not see grounds for a criminal case, and has made the decision to refuse.
And The Court of First Instance had found in the decision to refuse that the attorney did not maintain the out-of-court order, in other words, it was not complained on time.
For the act of violence against a representative of authorities, the appeal with regard to the size of punishment of Armen Khaloyan sentenced for five-year in prison is at the Court of Cassation, and my appeal is at the General Prosecution’s Office of Armenia.
The former athlete, who was one of the security employees of the Ltd. company, is kept in Noubarashen detention center and detention cell of the Ministry of Justice since last year November.
At the Kentron and Nork Marash General Jurisdiction Court, the attorney raised the issue of moving to “Vardashen” PI. But the Ombudsman’s complaints and demands still have not been resolved.
Judge Henrik Ter-Adamyan requested from SIS investigator to present the conclusion of the medical examination to the court regarding A. Khaloyan, his explanation and the protocol on examining the scene of the incident.
The court session will be continued tomorrow.
