YEREVAN. – An Armenian capital city Yerevan court granted the
investigator’s motion to confine activist Dmitri Harutyunyan, and
sentenced him to a two-month preliminary confinement.

The court also considered impermissible his attorney’s motion to
release him on bail.

To note, the lawyers had offered an apartment in Downtown Yerevan
plus $30,000 to change Harutyunyan’s restraining order.

“This is yet another illegal trial. We will appeal to the Court of
Appeal. If we do not get justice there, too, we will appeal to the
European Court,” Harutyunyan’s attorney Lusine Sahakyan stated.

To note, 32-year-old military physician Dmitri Harutyunyan was detained
on August 31 and later arrested. A criminal case is opened against
the opposition Pre-Parliament movement member, and on charges of
committing violence against a state representative.
