Arsen Babayan’s arrest extremely illegal: expert
In Armenia no person may be deprived of freedom or detained for the deeds committed before October 21, 2018 according to the law on amnesty adopted last year on the occasion of 100th anniversary of establishment of first Armenian Republic and Erebuni-Yerevan 2800th anniversary, expert in Constitution Gohar Meloyan wrote on Facebook, stressing that law enforcers know about it.
“Consequently, currently Arsen Babayan is deprived of his freedom illegally, This arrest is extremely illegal and pursues non-legal purposes. I apply to all human rights advocates and representatives of civil society to support the protection of right of Arsen Babayan,” Meloyan noted.
Earlier the Special Investigation Service released a statement, reporting about arrest of former deputy head of NA staff Arsen Babayan for wrongdoing under the part 1 of Article 314 of the Criminal Code (official falsification).
