Police officers and red beret policemen brutally beat the five young people who were apprehended and taken to the police station in Yeghegnadzor. This is what former Prime Minister of Armenia, leader of Liberty Party Hrant Bagratyan wrote on his Facebook page, adding the following:

“There are only a couple of days left for the government of Nikol Pashinyan that has become a pan-national disaster. Nikol is in agony. Now he is attacking the offices of Liberty Party and its supporters. Today citizens attacked the office of Liberty Party in Kapan and tore all the posters. We’re waiting for the police to explain (if, of course, the police aren’t to blame). Police officers took five young people (according to the information at this moment) to the local police station in Yeghegnadzor and brutally beat them. The young people are guilty of turning their backs to Nikol and calling him a traitor and land giver (is this wrong?). Police have launched a criminal case. One of the young people’s hand is broken. Another young person is in very bad condition, and we don’t expect him to get better. All these young boys are boys who fought until the end in Jabrayil during the war. Their real guilt is that they didn’t leave the battlefield. Release the boys, scoundrel, tomorrow might be too late.”
