A group of Yerevan citizens staged a protest action outside the Court
of General Jurisdiction of Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun administrative
districts in support of Tigran Postanjyan, the brother of opposition
Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan.
The protesters called for Tigran's release, saying that the charges
incriminate to him were quashed under the recently amended Criminal
Code. Shouting "Freedom to Tigran," they tried to call the attention
of Judge Artur Lazarian.
On May 26, Advocate Hayk Alumyan motioned for the acquittal of Tigran
Postanjyan, citing the provisions of the amended Criminal Code.
Tigran Postanjyan, a leading specialist in Yerevan's Arabkir district,
is charged with receiving illegal remuneration from a state-run agency
according to Article 311of the RA Criminal Code. On May 11, Postanjyan
started a hunger strike in Nubarashen penitentiary in protest against
inhuman and humiliating attitude of the prison administration.
Postanjyan's relatives are concerned about his health state and say
he has a weak heart.
"How can they arrest an innocent person?" said Postanjyan's son Rudolf,
expressing concern about his father's health state.
The next court sitting is set for June 3.
