Gaspari was sent to forensic psychiatric examination after question about March 1 (video)
The forensic psychiatric examination set in the case of civic activists Vardges Gaspari in “Nork” psychiatric medical center didn’t take place today. Gaspari was charged with hindering the activities of local electoral commission. The investigator asked him questions, but Gaspari didn’t answer. Then Gaspari asked the investigator whether he had any connection with the events of March 1, 2008. After this question the investigator set forensic psychiatric examination. Today the forensic psychiatric examination lasted very short, as the defense party appealed the decision to Prosecutor General's Office. Tigran Yegoryan, advocate of Vardges Gaspari, considers the forensic psychiatric examination as a type of pressure, “Criminal prosecution is an alternative and very often it is more effective from the point of view of making people obey, discrediting people.” By the way, according to the words of Yegoryan, the investigator was offended by their appeal and proposed undergoing examination personally, if there are doubts about him. “And I suggested that he undergo examination before Gaspari’s examination. But he avoided by saying that he underwent 7 years ago when being hired,” said the advocate. The parties will be additionally informed about the day of the forensic psychiatric examination.
