Activists converged on the Prosecutor General’s Office in Yerevan
today in a show of solidarity for Tigran Arakelyan, a young HAK
(Armenian National Congress) member sentenced to six years on charges
of hooliganism and resisting arrest dating back to a August 2011
incident with police.
The protesters, calling for the release of all political prisoners
in the country, noted that today is the 23rd anniversary of Armenia’s
declaration of Independence.
