ArmInfo. Armenian Prosecutor General Arthur Davtyan accepted the lawmakers' petition that stresses the need to change the measure of restraint against Arthur Sargsyan. To note, Arthur Sargsyan is charged with supporting the Sasna Tsrer (Daredevils of Sassoon) group members.
MP Nikol Pashinyan says on his Facebook page that the Prosecutor took into consideration the personal guarantees of the lawmakers and is ready to change the measure of restraint against Sargsyan. "Arthur Sargsyan will be released in a few hours," he stressed.
To note, Arthur Sargsyan is charged with supporting the actions of the Sasna Tsrer group, because in July 2016 he supplied food to the Sasna Tsrer group, which seized the police compound in Yerevan. Sargsyan was arrested and then released on his own recognizance due to a number of serious diseases. However, on Feb 9 he was arrested again because he broke the measure of restraint. After that Sargsyan went on hunger strike and his health condition is currently grave. To support him, some members of Sasna Tsrer also have gone on hunger strike.
