Armenian Court Upholds Journalist's Jail Term, RFE/RL (2010)

Armenia's highest criminal court has upheld a prison sentence for a newspaper editor and opposition leader for his alleged role in 2008 postelection violence in Yerevan. The Court of Cassation rejected appeals against two lower-court rulings on the case that were filed by both Nikol Pashinian and state prosecutors. Defense lawyers condemned the latest court decision as politically motivated and reaffirmed their plans to take Pashinian's case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
