A few days ago, lawyer Roman Yeritsyan warned that the sister of a fallen soldier from Artsakh, the mother of five children, was arrested in front of her children by several policemen from her residence in Nor Hachn and transferred to the investigative department of Dilijan, just because she called for violence against Nikol Pashinyan in her comments on the Facebook platform.

Minister of Internal Affairs Arpine Sargsyan in a briefing with journalists today in the parliament said, that “he is aware of that incident, it is worrying, they will talk to the woman, and there will be an appropriate reaction from the Ministry”.

Today 168.am from Roman Yeritsyan I wondered if the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already spoken with the woman from Artsakh, what equivalent reaction does he expect from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

“At least as of this moment, no one has spoken to that woman, I should not have mentioned all this in order for there to be a reaction from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It’s just that the police should have been guided by the law and apart from the law, by conscience and inner conviction, which seems to be lacking in the police,” said the lawyer.

He reminded that the police went to the woman’s house at night, in the presence of a young child, without clarifying anything, without providing any information, which is a constitutional violation of criminal procedure, they deprived the woman of her freedom and transferred her to Dilijan police station.

“What will be the reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Will it be a formal demonstration or will it give a reaction, but the conclusion of that reaction is already understandable for all of us?”

I assure you that this is not the way the police work, but it was an act of intimidation, they knew very well that this woman would cover everything. The only goal is not to target the government on Facebook and other public platforms, that’s why the police thought that if they scare someone, it won’t happen again. But if you noticed, even under my post, people were not afraid and expressed themselves.

The woman’s child is in a serious psychological condition after that incident, the woman too, she is a person who lost her home and place, whose brother was killed. They break into a man’s house in the middle of the night for a post he made just a year ago, and take him to the police.

Of course, the psychological condition of an Artsakh citizen is strong, he has gone through many things, but these situations have an effect,” emphasized Roman Yeritsyan.
