In Yerevan, rally in support of "Sasna Tsrer" finishes in march

From Freedom Square, activists went to the hospital for convicts, where the people, wounded in a shooting during the seizure of a building of the patrol-and-post police service, received medical treatment.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on August 26, according to organizers' estimates, about 500 people came to Freedom Square to discuss the next steps of the "Sasna Tsrer" (Daredevils of Sassoun).

On July 17-31, the armed group "Sasna Tsrer", organized by supporters of the opposition movement "Constituent Parliament", held the building of the patrol-and-post police service in Yerevan.

The police accompanied the marchers, and no incidents were registered during the action.

According to the participants of the march, the next rally will be held on September 2. The activists called on all people to take part in a rally in support of Zhirair Sefilyan to be held on August 29. On that day, the Court of Appeal will consider the complaint filed by the defence of Zhirair Sefilyan about the decision on his arrest.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
