Mariam Against Police Chief

Environmental activist Mariam Sukhudyan received a notification from the Kentron and Nork Marash Court that her appeal against the RoA Police will be considered on November 1, at 12 o'clock. Recall Mariam Sukhudyan filed an appeal demanding a compensation of 1 million because the Police, in the face of Chief of Police Alik Sarsgyan and Head of the Police Department on Public Relations Sayat Shirinyan, "violated her presumption of innocence".
It happened in connection with the scandal related to the Nubarashen Special School, when a criminal case was brought against Mariam accusing her of "false betrayal". According to the law, until the guilt is proven, the accused is considered innocent as well as conclusions about guilt cannot be based on suppositions but only facts. While the Chief of Police Alik Sarsgyan, before the verdict of the court, said that Mariam voiced groundless accusations, defamed innocent people and forced minors to punishable actions. And the Head of the Police Department on Public Relations Sayat Shirinyan, in an interview with "Taregir", used the word "criminal" dwelling on Mariam Sukhudyan.
Mariam Sukhudyan noted that they were speaking about her as if the court had already issued its verdict of guilty. She says they violated her presumption of innocence.
