“Zhoghovurd” daily writes: “According to the information of “Zhoghovurd” daily newspaper, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice are in internal discussions about what to do to bring the detainees to proper courts, so that the anger of judges and lawyers can be restrained, and the courts work normally.
We learned that during a closed discussion, a question was raised as to whether the number of detainees has increased so much that the police escort group does not have enough employees to ensure the escort of all detainees. “Zhoghovurd” daily found out that, for example, in 2020, the number of detainees in RA was 986, and today, as of February 1, 1406 citizens are in custody in RA. It turns out that since 2020, the number of detained persons has increased by 420.
It is difficult to say how these discussions will end, but it is a fact that a wave of dissatisfaction has matured in the courts.
We remind you that the lawyers warn that if this continues, they will apply to the European Court of Human Rights. The point is that they have not been able to bring the detainees from the prison to the court for a long time. The other day, judge Artush Gabrielyan was angry at one of the sessions. “Every time you give an excuse: there is no car, there is no gas, there is no accompanying staff. I have to call the minister about this issue. I will postpone the court session in 5 minutes, I have a session on another case, you can take the prisoner back.”
The lawyers participating in the case and the prosecutor joined the dissatisfaction of the judge, saying that this situation is widespread. Ensuring the presence of the prisoner at the court sessions is the positive obligation of the state, which is not fulfilled. The delay in one case spreads in a chain to the next ones, and the work schedule of the day is violated.”
