Green activists that have been protesting against construction in
the Mashtots Park for over a month found an original method to take
revenge on police for application of force on March 14 night.
On March 15 the activists organized a series of flashmobs walking
along several streets and making the police to follow them. Every time
they were returning to the park and dividing into groups confusing
the police.
After the flashmobs that proved so exhausting for police officers,
green activists continued their action of protest in the park. No
clashes with the police were registered overnight.
On March 14 the police surrounded the green activists in Mashtots Park
and knocked down the tent with activist Bayandur Poghosyan sleeping
inside. “One can see on video how the police officers knocked down the
tent hitting by legs. I am surprised to have avoided bodily harms,”
Poghosyan says.
The activists applied to the Prosecutor General’s Office and the
Special Investigation Committee for detention and punishment of the
police officers that applied brutal force with regards to peaceful
protesters.
