The first court hearing of the lawsuit requesting to partially annul the executive order of the RA Ministry of Defense is scheduled.

January 26, 2016

The Administrative court scheduled a hearing on the administrative lawsuit filed by Peace Dialogue NGO against the RA Ministry of Defense on February 19, 2016 at 3:30 p.m.

As it was previously reported, Peace Dialogue NGO submitted a complaint to the Administrative court On June 9, 2015 to challenge the legitimacy of the classification of secret information mentioned in Section 17, Section 42 and 43 in the list provided by Executive Order N9 of the Ministry of Defense and to partially annul the executive order.

The NGO recently received a notice from the court informing them that the hearing was scheduled for February 19, 2016 and that the Court decided to involve the Ministry of Justice as a third party.

The Court had first rejected the preliminary appeal of the Ministry of Defense requesting to  involve the Ministry of Justice as the third party in the case, however they later made a decision to involve them.
