BANUCHIAN TO PARTAKE IN THE RALLY TOMORROW
Support A1+!“I am happy to be with you. I am happy not to be dangerous for the society,” declared Deputy Director of the Matenadaran Arshak Banuchian, who, in conjunction with 1 March events, had been detained for 123 days.
Five days ago Arshak Banuchian was set free on signature. He does not represent any political party and considers himself an active citizen, who thought it his duty to be at his people’s side. “I have not violated any law. I simply participated in peaceful rallies.”
According to Arshak Banuchian only 2 months later after his detention could he find out under which Articles he had been detained. As it turned out he had been accused under Article 225 /organizing or participating in mass disorders/ and Article 154 /bribery/.
“For 4 months they were looking for the person I bribed. Logically they must have detained the person who took the bribe and only after that they could detain me, who “gave the bribe”. But they did vice versa.” Banuchian also stated he was going to participate in tomorrow’s rally.
The Deputy Director of the Matenadaran believes the political tension can be put an end to only through the political prisoners’ release.
