The Investigative Journalists NGO has filed a Freedom of Information petition with Armenia’s Administrative Court that seeks to oblige the Prosecutor General’s Office to provide information in the case of Soghomon Kocharyan, who is serving a life sentence in an Armenian prison.

In November of 2014, Hetq wrote to the Prosecutor General’s Office asking that it be permitted to familiarize itself with various court documents of the 1995 trial and to take photographs. The office never got back to Hetq. In March of this year Hetq again wrote to the office. There was no answer to this request as well.

A preliminary court date has been scheduled for July 7.
