ARMENIAN COURT UPHOLDS ESPIONAGE SENTENCES
By empty (7/19/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Armenia\'s Appeal Court rejected on 19 July an appeal by four Armenian citizens against the sentences handed down to them in January on charges of state treason and spying for Azerbaijan. Nina Shilina and her husband Edgar Filkov appealed against their prison sentences of 15 and 13 years respectively, protesting that the lower court failed to prove their guilt. Filkov\'s brother Aleksandr Gasparian was sentenced to 10 years\' imprisonment, and his appeal that that sentence be offset against a concurrent 4 1/2 year sentence for swindling was rejected.Visit also
