On December 20, the Commission on Television and Radio (CTR) decided to suspend the activities of “Tospa” company, which rebroadcasts “Sputnik Armenia” audio program, for 30 days. The company was also fined 500,000 drams. As a basis for the suspension the thoughts expressed during the programs “Abovyan Time” by Arman Abovyan and “Friday with Tigran Keosayan” by Tigran Keosayan are mentioned.
Having investigated the circumstances of a court in Armenia holding a trial and finding a dead man guilty, I wanted to know if such trials had also taken place in other countries. Surprisingly, I found several cases in ancient and recent history when other countries held posthumous trials of defendants and found them guilty after their death.
