Armenian Government Accused Of Persecuting Top Judicial Official Ապրիլ 16, 2021 Կիսվել Տարածել Տպել The head of an independent body empowered to nominate, sanction and fire judges on Friday accused Armenia’s political leadership of ordering criminal proceedings against him in a bid to replace him with a government ally. Ruben Vartazarian told the Hraparak newspaper that he was formally charged with obstruction of justice on Thursday hours after the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) agreed to suspend him pending investigation. Neither the SJC nor the Office of the Prosecutor-General gave any details of the criminal case. Under Armenian law, judges and other judicial officials cannot be prosecuted on charges stemming from their professional activities without the SJC’s consent. The SJC said on Thursday that the case against its chairman not connected with the performance of his duties.
