Those scenes were taped by policemen
Yesterday the Special Investigative Service released information according to which they received the video showing scenes of police intimidation from the March 1 ad hoc committee and a citizen who was interrogated as an eyewitness and informed that he had received the video from his oppositionist friend.
"They taped the scenes and we were able to get the scenes with help from our assistants who were among them," chairman of the public council leading an investigation into the events of March 1 Suren Abrahamyan told "A1+".
He considers the justification of the SIS as unserious and recalls that when the video was released last summer and discussed in parliament, the SIS was also participating in the discussions and even brought eyewitnesses for one of the episodes. If they wanted, they could have seen those scenes after they were released when they had the video.
Let us remind that the SIS touched upon the issue of bringing the police who committed the violence to justice when Samvel Nikoyan appealed to the SIS and when the decision on amnesty was already in effect.
Without Suren Abrahamyan's information, a person who knows a thing or two about technology and watches the scenes will immediately see that the video was taped by the friend of the police who was brutally beating the citizen with a club.
Let us take note of the fact that the policemen simply eliminated the scenes that perhaps didn't show any of the events of March 1. They stole the videos and even cameras of the cameramen at "A1+", "Yerkir Media" and the ALM television stations, but they let the person standing next to them tape their illegal actions.
