    COURT OF REVIEW UPHOLDS EDGAR ARAKELIAN'S VERDICT

    YEREVAN, JULY 1, ARMENPRESS: An Armenian appeals court upheld on
    Wednesday the 18-month imprisonment of an opposition activist, Edgar
    Arakelian, who hit a police officer by a plastic bottle when the
    police used force to disperse an April 13 morning anti-government
    demonstration, staged by the opposition forces.
    The officer, hit by Arakelian, told the Review Court that the
    strike did not cause damage to his health and that probably the young
    man failed to see that he was hitting a police officer because of the
    turned off street illumination.
    The Review Court ruling came on an appeal by Edgar Arakelian
    against the lower court verdict of May 26, but the panel of three
    judges ruled eventually that the lower court decision was right.
    Arakelian's lawyer dismissed the ruling saying he will take the
    case to the Court of Appeals..
