Preventing Domestic Violence and Your Legal Protection

The First Instance Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan City has rejected the motion of the lawyers of our office, Arsen Sardaryan, and Edgar Ayvazyan, to apply detention as a preventive measure against their client, F.G., a citizen of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who was accused of using a forged passport and illegally crossing the state border of the Republic of Armenia. Instead, the court selected administrative supervision, bail, and a prohibition on leaving as preventive measures for F.G. We are grateful to Judge Martin Arzumanyan for conducting a lawful, adversarial trial, as well as for issuing an exceptional, humanitarian, and well-reasoned judicial act.

Without losing faith in justice, lawyer Arsen Sardaryan fought for a long time to achieve justice and, finally, the court of General Jurisdiction of the Syunik region, chaired by Judge Lusine Sephanyan, acquitted the judge of general jurisdiction of the Syunik region Boris Bakhshiyan.
