Mataghis Case won’t be Revealed

Human Rights Protection     Rights of the Elderly     /2007-October-17/

Arthur Sakunts, the coordinator of HCA Vanadzor thinks that the Court of Cassation did not have the right to make a decision on sending the case of Mataghis for further examination. According to him in the practice of the European Court, it is a human rights violation to send a case for further examination if it is a case law.

The Court Dismissed the Application


On April 13th, the Court of First Instance of Lori region dismissed the application of the group planning to initiate local referendum against the Regional Electoral Commissions #30. The group claimed to invalidate the 8a decision of the commission made on April 3, 2007.
Justification: According to the court, the issue of impeaching the community head by an initiative group cannot be put to local referendum. The 1st part of article 5 of the law “On Local Referendum” does not foresee such a thing.

The Court will Make a Decision on April 13


On April 9, the court of first Instance of Lori region, presided by the judge Alaverdyan, heard the claim of the group initiating local referendum against the regional election commission #30.
The members of the initiative group, the representative of local authorities, the head of the regional election commission #30, as well as OSCE observers and citizens of Vanadzor were present at the court sitting.

Local Impeachment in Vanadzor
