Civil activist Tigran Mazmanyan was detained for two months yesterday. He was arrested for organizing mass disorder, arranging illegal gatherings, but then he was charged with using violence by a participant of a mass disorder, destroying property. According to Robert Revazyan, the matter concerns the entrance of the Public Radio building and the door breaking on April 14. Then the police gave additional evidence that Tigran Mazmanyan used such violence against him, pulling him and tearing off the watch. "Meanwhile, in the video it is seen how Tigran Mazmanyan crosses his hands while passing this police officer, while he is standing quietly. In other words, this fact is also denied that he had applied any violence. It is clear to us that he is persecuted for his political activism. I must point out that the police officer will take responsibility for this false testimony. He could not have done two acts of violence at the same time," said the lawyer. According to him, the two articles were false, and that was not in the right domain. In the detention phase the accusations also collapsed. One of the defenders Ara Gharagyozyan added that Tigran Mazmanyan was detained by one policeman's testimony.
