Armenia’s Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) suspended seven judges this year based on “serious disciplinary violations”.

Three of the suspended judges are from Yerevan’s General Jurisdiction Court of Yerevan, one is a Civil Court of Appeals judge, and three worked at the Court of Cassation.

The SJC also reprimanded five General Jurisdiction Court judges and issued warning to two others.

The suspended judges have appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) for redress.
