Yerevan, 10 February: The Armenian government has approved changes
to the law “On the Human Rights Defender”, which deny the ombudsman
the right to interfere in the course of court trials.
Under the new bill, the ombudsman can only consult the plaintiff on
appealing against court verdicts or sentences, the press service of
the Cabinet of Ministers reported today.
It was noted at the government’s meeting that this approach was
observed in the laws of a number of countries.
