A citizen of the Dominican Republic, Y.K., accused of attempting to illegally cross the state border of the Republic of Armenia and of using a false document, had been placed under a two-month detention by the decision of the Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan on 18.08.2025.
After applying to the lawyers of the “LSA” Law Office, on 10.09.2025 a petition was submitted to the court requesting a review of the detention measure. Following this, the Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan (Judge Martin Arzumanyan presiding) initiated proceedings, and by its decision of 17.09.2025, the accused was released from detention.
The quality of justice in cases involving foreign nationals is one of the indicators by which the Republic of Armenia is assessed by foreigners. In this case, the Court, through its impartiality and fairness, upheld the reputation of the Republic of Armenia at a high level.
