YEREVAN, JULY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA government approved of the RA draft laws on making amendments to the RA Law on "Penitentiary Service", as well as on making an amendment in the Penitentiary Code in the July 26 sitting. This infomation was provided to Noyan Tapan by the Information and Public Relations' Department of the RA government. The adoption of the above mentioned draft laws is connected with the fact that the RA Law on making amendments in the RA Law on "Penitentiary Service" envisages to eliminate the Penitentiary Department of the RA Ministry of Justice since it has, in essence, solved all the problems set before itself at the bidding of time, as well as certain functions of this department will be entitled to the Supervisory Administration of the RA Ministry of Justice. The amendment proposed in the RA Penitentiary Code aims at making the circle of the defendants, who are kept separate on account of an illness, clear.
