Students Harutyun Alaverdyan’s and Hakob Hakobyan’s trial started
Monday at the Center, Nork-Marash first instance court. They are
charged with insulting policemen.
Prosecutor Aram Lazarian says these two young men were fastening
leaflets demanding to release Edgar Arakelyan, who has been arrested
for striking a policeman with empty plastic bottle during the police’s
notorious attack on demonstrators on April 13. The prosecutor says
the police demanded the students to stop doing that but were insulted
in response.
Co-defendants’ lawyers requested a short break, and the session was
interrupted for 20 minutes.
