STUDENTS STAND TRIAL FOR SPREADING LEAFLETS
Support A1+!Students Harutyun Alaverdyan’s and Hakob Hakobyan’s trial started Monday at the Center, Nork-Marash first instance court. They are charged with insulting policemen.
Prosecutor Aram Mkrtchyan says these two young men were fastening leaflets demanding to release Edgar Arakelyan, who has been arrested for striking a policeman with empty plastic bottle during the police’s notorious attack on demonstrators on April 13. The prosecutor says the police demanded the students to stop doing that but insulted in response.
Co-defendants’ lawyers requested a short break, and the session was interrupted for 20 minutes.
