Ara Zohrabyan, a former chairman of Armenia’s Chamber of Advocates, has denounced the use of force by police officers against a lawyer.
“This is a very dangerous incident. This is the second time something like this has happened,” he told a news conference in Yerevan on Tuesday.
Zohrabyan recalled that they demanded the dismissal of the officers who beat up two lawyers in a police custody in February this year, stressing the need for tougher measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
“This is a terrible act. It’s too much for us to swallow,” Zohrabyan said.
