YEREVAN. – The prosecution motioned for a fourteen-year prison sentence for activist Hayk Kyureghyan.

The prosecutor, in his indictment address at the court on Tuesday, said the charges against Kyureghyan are substantiated based on investigated and obtained evidence.

The court verdict will be announced on September 11.

An unusual incident had occurred, on June 12, 2014 at the yard of a court in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, minutes before the start of the trial against activist Shant Harutyunyan. Hayk Kyureghyan, 31, had stood on top of a vehicle and holding an air pistol, fired shots at police officers, and injured several officers of the law. The police, however, had rendered him ineffective and detained him. Kyureghyan was charged with hooliganism, and violence against the representative of the authorities.
