YEREVAN. – The Administrative Court of Armenia has decided not to consider second President Robert Kocharyan’s lawsuit against the Penitentiary Service. We are informed about this from the Judicial Information System.
To note, with this lawsuit Kocharyan had asked not to limit his visitation and telephone rights.
The aforesaid court, however, did not accept this lawsuit for proceedings on the grounds that the oversight over the legality of decisions to ban visitation and telephone rights is subject to be carried out by criminal litigation procedure, not administrative.
