YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Examination of appeal complaints
on the case against Zhirayr Sefilian, the Coordinator of the In
Defence of Liberated Territories public initiative, is envisaged to
start on September 14 at the Criminal Appeal Court. As Noyan Tapan
correspondent was informed by Z. Sefilian's defender, Ara Zakarian,
in the appeal complaints of Z. Sefilian and a member of the Homeland
and Honor party, Vardan Malkhasian, the defender party mediates for
finding their defendants not guilty. It should be mentioned that
by the decision of the first instance court the latters had been
sentenced to 1.5 and 2 years' imprisonment.
An appeal complaint has been also introduced by the prosecuting
party, which demands to reverse the decision, to find Z. Sefilian
guilty also of making public appeals for seizing the power. The
first instance court found him not guilty in that accusation and the
prosecuting party on the part of Vahan Asrian accused of keeping
illegal ammunition mediaties to determine a stricter punishment,
three years' imprisonment instead of the imprisonment of one year
and a half determined by the first instance court.
