Police promise to return megaphones
Young activist of the Armenia National Congress (HAK) Sargis Gevorgyan taken to the Kentron Department of RA Police after the HAK rally of February 19 was called to the police station today.
"There was no mention in the summons as to why I was invited to the police. It only said that I was invited to the police to give elucidation on the law violation during the HAK rally," Sargis Gevorgyan told A1+ after returning from the police station.
Sargis refused to give explanation in the police. He inquired why the megaphones belonging to the Congress and confiscated on February 19 had not been returned to the owners.
"In reply to my question the inspector told me the megaphones would be returned as soon as the head of the department was back," said Sargis.
Six demonstrators were beaten and detained for organizing and holding a mass meeting on February 19. Head of the Kentron Department of RA Police promised the youngsters to punish the culprits but the following day the police issued a statement saying the rally was held with rough breaches of law and violation of public order. Following the statement the young activists were presented with summons.
