Conducting an apparently illegal criminal prosecution against Hrazdan city resident Hayk Movsisyan, reaching an unlawful accusatory verdict and carrying out activities targeted at concealing crimes committed in relation to him, which were accompanied with keeping him in illegal detention and causing to commit a suicide were implemented on the part of high-rank officials including RA Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan, RA Military Prosecutor G. Kostanyan, SIS former Chief A. Mirzoyan and former Judge of Syunik Region Court of Common Jurisdiction S. Aghabekyan, MoD Investigative Service investigators and medical examination administrators through organized and directed actions, which is a monstrous atrocity against a humanity.

Dismissing some of the officials from their offices on such grounds is an obvious breach of principles on equality before the law and the rule of law regarding which back on May 8 of 2013, we demanded that the RA Prosecutor General A. Hovsepyan should take the Organization’s statement as a report on crime. Nonetheless, the officials in charge of committing unlawful acts in relation to Hayk Movsisyan continue to hold their posts and it is yet unclear whether or not charges have been brought against them.

The failure to carry out the norms and authorizations as defined by the law will be viewed as concealing of a crime organized in relation to the RA citizen on the state highest level as well as patronage of criminals against justice.

We demand that RA Prosecutor General A. Hovsepyan should:

1. Bring charges against the aforementioned officials.
2. To lodge a criminal case on the grounds of unlawfulness applied in relation to Hayk Movsisyan and conduct a comprehensive, complete and objective investigation targeted at the revelation of the crimes and giving a legal estimation to it, in the meanwhile, keeping the public posted about the results.
