    TIGRAN POSTANJYAN RULING WILL BE APPEALED - LAWYER

    The case against opposition Heritage party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan's
    brother, Tigran, will be appealed in the Court of Appeals, his lawyer
    has said.

    Hayk Alumyan told a news conference today that his client had to agree
    to being released under amnesty due to inhumane conditions in the
    jail. The Criminal Code article under which Postanjyan was charged was
    abolished on May 25, meaning Postanjyan was kept in custody illegally
    for nine days.

    He said the case was unprecedented in terms of violating one's right
    to presumption of innocence, Alumyan went on saying. "The Prosecutor's
    Office posted a report on its official site saying the person was
    guilty just based on a letter from an individual."

    MP Postanjyan in turn said it is her belief that the case was
    fabricated under the instructions of either the Prosecutor General's
    Office or the National Security Service.
