The six members of the "Founding Parliament" civil initiative arrested
yesterday, April 7, Jirayr Sefilian, Ashot Hakobyan, Pavel Manukyan,
Garegin Chugaszyan, Gevorg Safaryan, and Varujhan Avetisyan, have
no access to radio or print media, Public Monitoring Group at the RA
Police Detention Facilities said in a statement. The representatives of
the Group met with the arrested oppositionists on Wednesday, April 8.
"On incomprehensible to the Group basis the investigative body has
placed a ban on their right to communicate with the outside world,"
the statement said. In particular, the Police have banned visitations
and phone calls from relatives.
The arrested men, as stated by the Public Monitoring Group, did not
express any complaints about the general conditions or treatment at
the detention facility. Meanwhile, Pavel Manukyan has begun a hunger
strike to protest his unlawful arrest.
The members of "Founding Parliament" were arrested on charges pursuant
to Article 225 of the RA Criminal Code (organization of mass disorder,
accompanied with violence, pogroms, arson, destruction or damage to
property, using fire-arms, explosives or explosive devices, or by
armed resistance to the representative of the authorities), the RA
Investigative Committee said on Tuesday, April 7.
According to an official statement issued by the Committee, "the RA
National Security Service and Special Investigative Committee have
joined forces to prevent mass disorders at the public event locations
on April 24, 2015."
"As a result of measures undertaken, it has become clear that a group
of individuals, taking into consideration the real likelihood of
large gatherings at the locations of public events organized on the
territory of the Republic of Armenia on April 24, 2015 on the occasion
of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, has been calling on
the people to disobey that day the requirements of the authorities,
and, if necessary, to use violence, to resort to power struggle,"
the statement said.
Note, that the "Founding Parliament" civil initiative is pursuing
regime change in Armenia. However, the initiative's coordinator,
war veteran Jirayr Sefilian stated earlier that they were not going
to organize upheavals on April 24.
