    COURT EXTENDS DETENTION OF OPPOSITION ACTIVISTS TIGRAN ARAKELYAN

    Tert.am
    23:58 05.10.11

    A Yerevan court ruled on Wednesday to extend the detention period of
    opposition activist Tigran Arakelyan.

    The Court of First Instance of Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative
    district satisfied a motion by the Special Investigation Service to
    extend the arrest period of Arakelyan for two months.

    Tigran Arakelyan, together with other youth activists of the opposition
    alliance Armenian National Congress (HAK), was arrested on August 9
    over a scuffle with police officers.

    Tigran Arakelyan is accused of "hooliganism against a representative
    of law-enforcement body". Arakelyan, however, denies the charge.

    All the other opposition activists under the same case have already
    been released.

    Following the arrest of youth activists the HAK suspended the political
    dialogue with representatives of the ruling coalition.
