The protesters are holding banners with the inscriptions: "Armenia

"Regime is a threat for all of us".
Later in the day Kiviryan will be questioned by Special Investigation
Service. Kiviryan himself said he was summoned as a witness in case,
whereas he is an injured party.
On August 24 Kiviryan was detained and brutally beaten by police
officers from the construction site of the Komitas 5 high-rise. He
was transported to hospital where he was diagnosed with concussion.
Instead of holding accountable law enforcers, police instituted
criminal proceedings against Kiviryan. The police officer submitted a
report on the incident, saying Argishti Kiviryan cursed him, bit and
hit him in the car. A criminal case on charges of violence against
a representative of authorities has been opened.
