The RA Chamber of Advocates released a statement today criticizing
an attempt by an investigator attached to the Erebuni Investigative
Division to seize a computer belonging to "Sretenka-Konsul" legal firm.

The Chamber received a complaint filed by attorney Ara Zohrabyan
regarding the illegal seizure of the computer containing the firm’s
legal documents.

The Chamber points out that Armenia has agreed to a number
of international treaties guaranteeing the inviolability of
"attorney-client" privilege and secrecy of consultations. It also
criticizes recent police efforts to prevent attorneys from contacting
clients who have been detained by law-enforcement.
