The Prosecutor’s Resolution will be Appealed

On April 5, 2011 at approximately 12 p.m. the Lori Region Court of First Instance will hear a preliminary trial regarding the case submitted by Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor against Lori Region Prosecutor’s Office decision.

On February 2, 2011, the RA Lori Region Prosecutor’s Office reached a resolution to reject filing a criminal case against an investigator from the Investigation Department of Lori Region for exceeding his official authorizations.

It should be mentioned that in 2009 the organization presented a claim to the RA Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the illegal search of a citizen’s house by an investigator without a court’s decision. The RA Prosecutor General’s Office sent the claim to the Lori region Prosecutor’s Office to which they responded with a petition. 

In 2009, the organization submitted a claim to the RA Lori Region Court of General Jurisdiction with a request to the Lori Region Prosecutor’s Office to reach a resolution on the submitted petition regarding exceeding the investigator’s official authorizations and to provide a copy of the resolution to the organization.

Over two years, Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly - Vanadzor turned to every Court Instances, as a result of which, the General Prosecutor’s Office finally made a resolution.
