Attorney describes Arsen Babayan’s trial as political
The court has applied arrest as preventive measure against former deputy head of NA’s staff Arsen Babayan, attorney Lusine Sahakyan told the reporters after the court hearing today.
She said the court denied applying bail.
“We have applied for bail. We thought the arrest would not be applied due to fully ungrounded accusations nevertheless we applied for bail. The judge should have fixed the absence of grounding suspicion,” Sahakyan said, adding that this is a political trial.
“In such processes, naturally, the judge cannot be independent. I do not think this is the judge who can act independently,” Sahakyan said, adding that Arsen Babayan was present at the hearing.
