The RoA 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 says that it 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. It also criticizes recent police efforts
to prevent attorneys from contacting clients who have been detained
by law-enforcement.
