    CAR RALLY IN GYUMRI DEMANDING THE RELEASE OF ARRESTED PROTESTER

    02.06.2015 12:39 epress.am

    Today, a car rally will start from the Shirak governor's office,
    demanding the release of 22-year oldMnatsakan Aleksanyan who was
    detained and arrested 2 days ago.

    On the event's Facebook page it states that the event starts at 3PM,
    the cars will move from the Governor's office to the police station,
    then to the prosecutor's office. The event's host Karen Petrosyan
    stated on Facebook that yesterday an initial page was created, however
    "it had been broken and deleted".

    Note, that Sarnaghbyur village resident Mnatsakan Aleksanyan was
    arrested for participating in a January 15 protest and in the framework
    of a criminal case for clashes with police resulted from the protests
    with articles of hooliganism and violence against representatives of
    the authorities.

    A few websites' broadcasts of January 15 events showed Aleksanyan
    conversing with Heritage Party MP Zaruhi Postanjyan. Aleksanyan
    reprimanded the MP for getting into a police vehicle. "I have one
    question, did you find it appropriate to be seen in a police car on
    the streets of Gyumri? Answer my question with a yes or no. If you
    asked anyone from Lenikakan (Gyumri) to take you to London, they would,
    but you shouldn't have sit in a dog's car," said Aleksanyan.

    Thousands of people demonstrated on January 15 in front the Shirak
    province's Prosecutor's office demanding that the murder suspect of
    the 7 members of the Avetisyan family Russian soldier Valery Permyakov
    be transferred and tried by Armenian law enforcement. One group of
    the demonstrators decided to move toward the Russian consulate and
    were barricaded by police, which resulted in a confrontation. Ever
    since a criminal case has been opened for use of violence against
    representatives of the authorities, however, no one had been arrested.

    Many of demonstration participants have been interrogated as witnesses
    in Gyumri.
