“VARDAN MALKHASSIAN HASN’T IMPROVED”
On July 2 the administration of the “Vardashen” Penitentiary Institution studied the cases of the detainees put on probation. The administration also considered the case of Vardan Malkhassian.
“Malkhassian found the process senseless and did not attend the sitting. The authorities have decided not to forward the case to the “independent commission” on the grounds that “Malkhassian has not improved,” runs the statement of the Committee supporting Vardan Malkhassian.
Reminder, Vardan Malkhassian was sentenced to a two-year imprisonment. He was to be released on December 9, 2008.
