/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Editor-in-Chief of Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper, Nikol
Pashinyan , who gave himself up to RA law enforcement authorities,
will be kept under detention for another two months, RA Prosecutor’s
Office Press Secretary Sona Truzyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

On July 1, Editor-in-Chief of Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper Nikol
Pashinyan, one of active participants of March 1 disorders, surrendered
to law enforcement agencies. The activist was arrested and taken to
"Yerevan-Kentron" penitentiary.

and continue his struggle in prison.

Dissatisfied with the outcome of February 19, 2008 presidential
elections, Armenian opposition started meetings in the centre
of Yerevan, under the leadership of first President Levon
Ter-Petrosyan. On March 1-2, protest actions grew into disorders,
resulting in the death of 10 individuals. Nikol Pashinyan was being
searched by law enforcers.
