On April 16, 2016, the criminal proceedings initiated on the death of young Elen Parsadanyan’s death were again discontinued without any logical grounds despite the fact that on the same day the investigator granted by his decree the motion of the aggrieved party on questioning the expert responsible for the additional commission expert examination.

Moreover, the decree on discontinuing the criminal proceedings has no mention at all of the motion on questioning the expert.

After advocate Ani Chatinyan, representative of the aggrieved party and lawyer at HCA Vanadzor, appealed the decree on discontinuing the criminal proceedings to higher authorities and expressed a position in the appeal that the investigation into violation of the right to life was one-sided and biased, on June 9, 2016, G. Baghdasaryan, acting prosecutor of Yerevan city, held in his decree that based on the  evidence obtained within the investigation into the case, the actions of the staff of ‘Arabkir’ and ‘Surb Grigor Lusavorich’ medical centers contained no corpus delicti and therefore dismissed the complaint for lack of merit.

The aggrieved party’s appealed the prosecutor’s decree before a court of law.

In its appeal filed with the General Jurisdiction Court of Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun administrative districts, the aggrieved party insisted on its position to the effect that the investigation into the case was non-efficient and was accompanied by numerous violations and shortcomings, and as a result the real causes of Elen Parsadanyan’s death were not revealed.

Note that the criminal proceedings on the death of young Ellen Parsadanyan who died on September 4, 2014 at ‘Arabkir’ Medical Center were later discontinued. The representatives of the victim’s successor, A. Zalyan and A. Chatinyan, lawyers at HCA Vanadzor, appealed the decree on discontinuing the criminal proceedings before a court of law, after which the case was again sent to preliminary investigation and discontinued again on April 16, 2016.
