    Several hundred people marched on the Police Headquarters in Yerevan
    to protest the heavy-handed tactics of the cops during operations
    on August 24 to remove citizen activists who blocked traffic on
    Komitas Street.

    Komitas Street is where local residents have come out in opposition
    to a controversial building they claim is illegal and will damage
    the local residential neighborhood.

    Activists joined residents in lying down in the street as a sign
    of protest and were forcibly removed by police. Many claim that the
    cops used excessive force to remove the protestors and that some were
    later beaten and intimidated while in police custody.

    After demonstrating in front of Police Headquarters, the protestors
    made their way to the Prosecutor General's Office.
