Police arrests a candidate for MP from ‘I’m Honored’ pre-election bloc

Armenia's Special Investigative Service has arrested a candidate for MP from 'I'm Honored' bloc Gor Sedrakyan. Lawyer Gayane Papoyan reported she would defend the rights of Sedrakyan and is now on her way to Yeghegnadzor to find out the circumstances of the incident. 

To remind, earlier, the leader of 'I'm Honored' bloc Artur Vanetsyan reported that law enforcement had launched a campaign of intimidation against the members and supporters of the bloc, conducting searches in the houses of the bloc members and the offices of the political force. 

Vanetsyan insisted the illegal actions against their political force had been initiated by authorities and represented nothing but a political persecution.
