    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On June 30 a final confirmation was given to a new
    Georgian law, forbidding foreign attorneys from defending Georgian
    prisoners' rights, Robert Tatoyan, Program Coordinator of Yerkir
    Social Organizations' Union for Repatriation told a news conference
    in Yerevan. According to him, Georgian authorities, intimidated by
    Vahagn Chakhalyan, do their best to prevent him from being liberated
    from prison.

    Tatoyan noted that Chakhalyan and his family are permanently abused
    by Georgian authorities.

    In his turn, Head of Yerkir Union Sevak Artsruni added that Georgian
    authorities repeatedly offered Chakhalyan to plead guilty in exchange
    to freedom, yet, Chakhalyan refused.

    The Akhaltsikhe district court found United Javakhk Democratic Alliance
    leader Vahagn Chakhalyan guilty at all points and sentenced him to
    10 years in prison.

    Chakhalyan's family appealed the verdict. A repeated hearing of Vahagn
    Chakhalyan's case will be held on July 22.
