    Armenian activists in Javakhk released
    09.03.2009 13:04 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Director of Akhaltsikhe youth center Grigor Minasyan
    and head of Charles Aznavour benevolent organization Sergei
    Hakobjanyan were released on March 6 evening.

    Details of Grigor Minasyan and Sergei Hakobjanyan's discharge are not
    known yet.

    A source said that in a March 6 trial, the two were handed a 1-year
    suspended sentence and immediately released. According to another
    source, the court decreed to substitute 2-month arrest by a 2000 lari
    fine.

    Senior Georgian officials have numerously stated that accusations
    against the arrested activists are `grounded' and it's hard to believe
    that authorities made a matter of conscience, bagin.info reports.

    Grigory Minasyan and Sargis Hakobjanyan were detained in Samtskhe
    Javakheti on January 22, 2009.

    They were charged in compliance with articles 18.1, 223.1 and 314
    (formation of illegal armed unit and spying) of the Georgian Penal
    Code.
