Let us recall that Mariam Sukhudyan who is charged with false treachery is an activist of the "SOS Teghut" youth movement. Today a group of young activists sent a letter to Serzh Sargsyan calling on him to put an end to the persecution of Mariam Sukhudyan. According to them, the attitude of the police is a serious threat not only to justice, but to the freedom of speech and civil and legal movements in Armenia.
