General Court of the Center and Nork-Marash Communities, Yerevan,
has adopted a decision to set Vardges Gaspari, an activist of the
oppositional Armenian National Congress, free on bail. The amount of
the bail was 800,000 drams.
Gaspari was taken to the police on Thursday nearby the government
building where he had jointed a group of citizens protesting against
non-combat killings in the army. Gaspari is suspected in hooliganism
and use of force with regard to a power representative.
The court satisfied the petition of Gaspari's lawyer and replaced
the initial measure of restrain - two months of arrest - with release
on bail.
ANC has paid the entire amount of the bail. However, Transparency
International has taken up a collection to involve the civil society
in Gaspari's release.
In the meanwhile, Gaspari says he was among the people whom police
officers pushed aside to give a way for Police Head Alik Sargsyan.
Gaspari says he was taken to the police after he called the police
officers pushing him hooligans. On Sunday, when Gaspari was told to
leave the police office, he tried to leave a report on his illegal
arrest. The police refused to accept Gaspari's report and pushed him
out of the office by force.
