Armenia –
A court in Yerevan ordered the release of opposition blogger Mikayel Badalyan on a bail of 6 million drams late on Friday, Arsen Babayan, a senior member of the opposition Homeland Party, said on Telegram.
He had earlier been taken to Armenia Republican Medical Center with internal bleeding.
Badalyan, who is a pro-Russian activist, was arrested on May 24 on charges of making a “false statement about terrorism” under Article 259 of Armenia’s Criminal Code.
He denies the charges as politically motivated.
