Political scientist Suren Surenyants to be subjected to detention

Court of general jurisdiction of Kanaker-Zeitun headed by Armen Khachatryan today decided to subject political analyst Suren Surenyants.

S. Surenyants did not attend the hearing and did not properly notify the court. Only half an hour before the hearing he told his lawyer that he was not feeling well and that he could not be present at the hearing.

The court and the prosecution considered that hearings could not proceed in the absence of the defendant, so the court held subject to detention of Sureniants.

At the last meeting, the court announced the completion of the trial and proceeded to hearing pleadings. Nelli Ashrafyan petitioned to grant her time to prepare indictment.

Suren Surenyants accused that he had fraudulently in order to deliberate theft of another's property, abusing the trust of his friend Mr. Hasabyan, fraudulently appropriated the amount of $ 508.000 AMD. S. Surenyants charged under second Part of Article 178 of the Criminal Code. For a measure of restraint was chosen the form of travel restrictions.
