UNEXPECTED BUSTLE IN COURT YARD
Support A1+!
Today’s trial of Armenian prominent opposition figures, known as “the case against seven” lasted a few minutes as Judge Mnatsakan Martirosyan adjourned the hearing by January 30. He grounded his decision for the defendants’ disrespect for the Court stating “none of the defendants stands up when the Judge enters the courtroom.”
People gathered at the yard of Shengavit’s Court of General Jurisdiction haven’t dispersed yet. The court yard is overcrowded: one can see the members of the Pan-National Movement and numerous policemen in the mob. The crowd wants to march to the Prosecutor General's Office but the police have chained the road to prevent their march. All those who try to disobey the police and elbow their way through the crowd, are forced off the site.
Policemen do their utmost to disband the crowd but the presentees seem to be determined in their decision. “Free Political Prisoners!” the indignant crowd is shouting.
The details will be given later in the day.
