`A shameful verdict for the Armenian people'
`Once again political persecution has taken certain stage,' read the
announcement by the Heritage party concerning the September 25 guilty
verdict for Jhirayr Sefilian, Vartan Malkhasian, and Vahan Aroyan.
`This is proof that one who expresses his opinions can be denied his
freedom. This verdict is not only shameful for the Armenian people,
but does great damage to Armenia's reputation throughout the world.
The verdict in fact judges the Armenian legal system. This illegal
decision affects the entire population. With this, the abyss between
the people and their government grows, and puts the country's security
at risk,' concludes the text.
We note that the high court sustained the earlier decision by the
first instance court of Nork-Marash. Not only that, the high court
increased Aroyan's sentence by six months.
