Russia drops arrest warrant for ex-defense minister of Armenia: media

September 7, 2018 By administrator

Russia has cancelled the CIS interstate arrest warrant for former Armenian Defense Minister Mikayel Harutyunyan wanted in Armenia as part of a criminal case into the March 2008 events in capital Yerevan, Interfax reports, citing its sources.

“After studying the materials of the case against Harutyunyan charged over March 1, 2008 events, a decision has been made to drop the arrest warrant in the Russian territory,” the source said.

The source added that nothing threatens Harutyunyan in the Russian territory, but he still may be detained and handed over to Armenia if travelling to any CIS member state.

It also clarified that Moscow received the arrest and extradition request for Harutyunyan a while ago not from the Armenia Prosecutor General’s Office, but through international manhunt channels, with the arrest warrant featuring the ex-official’s Moscow residence address.

Armenia’s Special Investigative Service has pressed charges against Mikayel Harutyunyan for overthrowing the country’s constitutional order during the March 1-2, 2008 post-election crackdown in Yerevan, which left 10 people, including two police officers dead.

Sweden drops Assange rape case

Sweden drops Assange rape case

Sweden’s director of public prosecutions has decided to drop the rape investigation into Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the BBC reports.

Marianne Ny filed a request to the Stockholm District Court to revoke his arrest warrant, apparently ending a seven-year stand-off.

Mr Assange, 45, has lived in the Ecuadoran embassy in London since 2012, trying to avoid extradition.

He feared being extradited to the US if sent to Sweden.

He could face trial in the US over the leaking hundreds of thousands of secret US military and diplomatic documents.

A brief statement ahead of a press conference by the prosecutor later on Friday said: “Director of Public Prosecution, Ms Marianne Ny, has today decided to discontinue the investigation regarding suspected rape (lesser degree) by Julian Assange.”
