NUMBER OF THOSE ARRESTED IS UNKNOWN
Support A1+!On April 13 146 members of National Unity Party were arrested, and 127 of them were released. The Party members cite the above figures. They also state the official data under which 28 party-men were taken in detention. It means that law machinery doesn’t register all the arrested in their papers.
National Unity MP Alexan Karapetyan had been in detention, too. He has today told about his arrest. Mr Karapetyan is sure being well-informed that he had suffered a heart attack a few years before some of law-enforcement bodies purposely administered electric shock on his heart area.
After Alexan Karapetyan had lost consciousness 2 policemen took him to the check-point. There he witnessed “The Armenian Times” Daily journalist Hayk Grigoryan being brutally beaten.
According to Karapetyan, policemen accused him of the attempt of forced power change. “They asked me what for I wanted change of power. I said people were in a sad state. They said nothing would change”, Karapetyan said.
