GROUP IS FORMED FOR INVESTIGATING “INQUEST METHODS” USED IN PUBLIC PROSECUTOR’S DEPARTMENT

Prosecutor-General has formed a group of seven persons for investigating the validity of the information declared the day before yesterday at the session of the commission on human rights under the President. The defenders of rights possess information that the officers of the military prosecutor’s office use coercion in relation to the armed forces personnel. Military prosecutor Gagik Jangiryan, against whom the commission has brought the most serious accusation, denied the information spread by the defenders of rights. He stated that he would not try to escape serving sentence if the information was confirmed.
