Armenian Human Rights Defender Karen Andreasyan returned from Russia
this morning. The Ombudsman had left for Moscow in connection with
the Hrachya Harutyunyan case.
Yesterday Karen Andreasyan met with Harutyunyan at "Motrosskaya
Tishina" detention facility and discussed the details of the case
with his lawyers.
Karen Andreasyan said the Armenian driver is kept in a cell together
with five other detainees and added that the conditions at the
detention facility are satisfactory.
According to the Ombudsman, although slowly, Hrachya Harutyunyan is
getting out of the depression.
As for the perspectives of extradition, Karen Andreasyan said under
all international conventions the issue can be discussed only after
the verdict is announced. He does not consider, however, that this
is the main issue at this point. "The most important is to ensure a
fair proceeding," he told a press conference today.
There are three lawyers defending Hrachya Harutyunyan. Famous
Russia-based Armenian advocate Ruben Margaryan may join them in
the near future. President of the Union of Armenians of Russia Ara
Abrahamyan is ready to cover the expenses.
