Armenian editor jailed for four years

The editor of an Armenian newspaper who evaded military service has been jailed for four years. The sentence on Arman Babajanian, of the daily paper Jamanak Erevan , may be politically-motivated, says Erevan press club president Boris Navasardian. The authorities are known to be unhappy with Babajanian's work. The press watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, called the sentence "disproportionate". (VIa Reporters Without Borders)
