The man convicted last year over the explosion of balloons in Yerevan's
central square has been released from jail.
The Cassation Court ruled Thursday to replace Serob Bozoyan's
imprisonment with a conditional sentence, his lawyer told Tert.am.
Bozoyan was earlier found guilty of selling balloons which caused the
explosion at the ruling Republican Party's final pre-election rally in
May, injuring scores of people. He was sentenced to one year in jail.
But the lower court had issued the ruling after a rapid trial,
without examining the facts.
Speaking to Tert.am, a spokesperson for the Prosecutor General's
Office, Sona Truzyan, said she isn't aware of any plans for appealing
against the decision. "It's a short time the ruling has been made
public so I am not familiar with the prosecutor's position," she said.
In comments to the local news website A1plus, Bozoyan said he is
happy about the new ruling that will finally get him out of jail.
