News | 05.02.15 | 12:45
At least two Founding Parliament activists were detained by police on
Thursday ahead of what had been announced by the hard-line opposition
group as an "open-air" press conference dealing with the weekend
police crackdown on their automobile march near Nagorno-Karabakh.
Founding Parliament members said they intended to display the vehicles
that were damaged by Karabakh police in the January 31 incident on
Yerevan's main Republic Square in the afternoon. But reports said
that several of the cars had been impounded by the road police.
The opposition group also claimed that one of the detained activists,
Gevorg Safaryan, was beaten up by police. It said a representative
of the Armenian Ombudsman's office visited him at the Central Police
Headquarters in Yerevan.
The group said despite the pressure they are determined to proceed
with their plans for a press conference that was scheduled for 1 pm.
