THE ACTIVIST WILL BRING AN ACTION AGAINST THE POLICEMEN. "THEY HAVE CONFISCATED EVERYTHING, MY PHONE, MY MONEY, AND MY BANK CARDS."
June 11 2014
As we had informed, yesterday, in the evening, the police apprehended
10 civil activists dismantling the gates of the Afrikyan's building.
Sipan Pashinyan was among the detainees, who generally was not
associated with the gates of the Afrikyan's building and had not
participated in any protest on that day. He just had gone to the
police station to learn some news about his friends, but the police
had immediately arrested him, and had seized the phone from his hands,
the wallet, bank cards, the whole money and had filed a criminal
case by Article 185 of the Criminal Code. In the conversation with
Aravot.am, Sipan Pashinyan told what had happened, "After being
apprehended near the Kentron Police station, the policemen did
not justify their behavior in any way and did not say why they had
apprehended him. They confiscated everything, my driver's license,
bank cards, business cards, everything that I had with me, 12 thousand
drams. They left nothing with me." Sipan Pashinyan said that the
police did not use impose brute force specifically to him, he did
not let them to apprehend him by beating. "My friends are injured,
Artak's arm is broken and scratched. I do not know whether they are
seriously injured, or not." To our question of whether he is planning
to make a complaint against the police, he responded, "Of course, I was
apprehended completely unsubstantiated. I regret for not participating
in the protest, I was just busy. Then I was called and told that my
friends were apprehended, I went to the police station. Three minutes
later after I got off the car, I was apprehended and without saying a
word they got me. Only 2 hours later, after long fights and quarreling,
they allowed me to call home and let them know that I am in the police
station. They wanted to take my fingerprints, we refused, they took our
photos, and wrote down a protocol, I do not know why. Now, I am in the
status of a suspect for intentional damaging of someone's property."
