ArmInfo. Sooner or later, bringing police officers to justice is inevitable. This was written on his Facebook page by lawyer Erik Aleksanyan, speaking about the case against Levon Kocharyan, a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia and the son of the second President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan.
As the lawyer notes, he appealed to the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Armenia and the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia in order to clarify the situation with the Levon Kocharyan case, in which the latter has the status of a victim.
Erik Aleksanyan emphasized that the public saw how police officers subjected Levon Kocharyan to violence, during the investigation, persons were questioned who confirmed this fact, and the presence of traces of violence and bodily injuries on Levon Kocharyan's body was also confirmed by a forensic medical examination, however, since September 2024, the police officers have not been held accountable.
"Moreover, the Chairman of the RA Investigative Committee stated during the National Assembly session that for taking effective measures in such cases, the conclusion of a forensic medical examination is of great importance, which is present in Levon Kocharyan's case, but in the MP's case this approach is clearly ignored, and an absurd attempt is made to present the reality as if the traces of violence on Levon Kocharyan's body appeared in the conditions of self-mutilation," the lawyer noted.
In his postscript, he added that the criminal case was initiated on the fact of torture, which, by the way, has no statute of limitations, so sooner or later the police will be held accountable.
Kocharyan Jr. was detained on September 23 during an opposition protest. On September 25, the court arrested him. He was charged with beating four police officers. On November 6, Levon Kocharyan was released from custody, since by the decision of the Central Election Commission he received a parliamentary mandate, which other MPs refused.
