Yerevan court extends Sefilyan's detention period for another month
Detention of Jirayr Sefilyan, leader of the “Centennial without the regime” radical opposition movement, has been extended for one month. Simzar Hovsepyan, a judge of the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun administrative districts, has extended the term of Sefilyan’s detention for the fifth time. Sefilyan’s lawyer, Tigran Hayrapetyan, told A1+ that his client did not attend the court hearing. The judge read out a letter stating that Sefilyan did not want to participate in the sitting. “The letter did not specify which sitting Sefilyan refused to attend,” said the lawyer.
