Today the Court of Appeals held the first trial for the case of Vahan
Khalafyan. Vahan Khalafyan was arrested on 13 April 2010, taken to the
Charentsavan police headquarters after being suspected of theft and
brought out dead.
According to the official version, he was attacked and committed suicide.
The prosecutor, as well as the culprits and the injured party's
successors have appealed to the Court of Appeals.
According to the verdict announced on 29 November 2010, Head of the
Department of Criminal Investigation at the Charentsavan police
headquarters Ashot Harutyunyan has been sentenced to 8 years in prison
and senior criminal police officer of the same department Moris
Hayrapetyan has been sentenced to 2 years in prison. The department's
criminal police officers Gagik Davtyan and Garik Ghazaryan have been
acknowledged as innocent.
The prosecution finds that there has to be an accusatory verdict
against the warranted defendants.

presented a challenge petition to the judges and the prosecutors, but
it was denied.
The next trial will be held on February 22.
