A little while ago, the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction declared the detention of leader of VETO Movement Narek Malian unlawful. This is what Malian’s attorney Tigran Atanesyan told reporters in the courtyard.

Earlier, Atanesyan had reported that Narek Malian was detained for making public calls for use of violence, publicly justifying or advocating violence.

Yesterday the performance “Execution of Ceausescu or death to traitors” staged by Malian was supposed to be held at Liberty Square, but he had been detained before that.
