ArmInfo. The legal team representing Serob Gasparyan, the head of the military-patriotic organization Sev Hovaz (Black Panther) and a participant in the first and second Artsakh wars, who was arrested in September 2024 in the case for allegedly planning "to seize power in Armenia," signals that at the time of his arrest Gasparyan was in good health, while now he has developed life-threatening illnesses that are incompatible with the current preventive measure.
The lawyers are questioning the impartiality of the medical examination, as the head of the body conducting the medical examination is the father of the prosecutor in the case. This creates an obvious conflict of interest and undermines the guarantees of the objectivity of the examination. As a result, the defense cannot file such a motion. In addition, court hearings are typically held once a month at best. In recent months, court hearings have been repeatedly disrupted.
, the statement says. It is noted that the failure to provide adequate and accessible medical care in detention is onsidered inhuman and degrading treatment, which goes against Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Therefore, the lawyers are demanding that an independent interdisciplinary medical examination be organized in a specialized civilian center with a full diagnosis and a clear treatment plan.
In addition, the defense demands that impartiality be ensured: in cases of a conflict of interest, measures be taken to either remove the head of the examining body or replace the prosecutor. The defense is also calling for a review of the detention and the implementation of proportionate preventive measure that does not involve deprivation of liberty. This should take into account the state of health and income. The defense is also urging for regular court hearings to be scheduled, ensuring timely escorts and eliminating delays for reasons. The defense also called on the Ombudsperson, the US and EU ambassadors, and international institutions to monitor and visit the prison.
