ArmInfo.The rapid reaction groups of the Human Rights Defender's Office are visiting police stations to protect the detainees' rights, reports the RA Human  Rights Defender's Office. 

The office reports cases of police detaining citizens that have  nothing to do with the protests. Human Rights Defender Kristinne  Grigoryan points out the inadmissibility of restricting freedom at  the venues of mass actions. On the other hand, she stressed that  protesters must obey law-enforcers' legal demands.

As of 11:00am Yerevan time, the police detained 277 members of the  Resistance Movement, Edgar Janoyan, Deputy Head of the Public  Relations Department of the Armenian Police, told ArmInfo.
