Appeal against decision about Sedrakian’s arrest may be filed to ECHR
“We are ready to file an appeal against the decision to arrest epos expert, ex-presidential candidate Vardan Sedrakian even to the European Court of Human Rights,” Sedrakian’s defense lawyer Alexander Sirunian told the correspondent of Aysor.am.
He said there has been no response so far from Armenia’s Court of Appeals, but they expect it to come at any moment as courts rapidly respond in such cases.
“We are realistic and don’t have great hopes because people detained under that article are not easily released in any country. We have two problems: how legal the charge was, and, secondly, V. Sedrakian’s arrest was illegal. The two problems have no connection with each other, and we are going to appeal even to ECHR regarding his arrest,” the lawyer said.
