ArmInfo. Reports on the use of violence against Zhirayr Sefilyan and Gevorg Petrosyan, who are held in the case of illegal storage and distribution of weapons, by law enforcement officers are not true. This is stated in the message of the Ombudsman of Armenia, received in ArmInfo.
According to the report, the operational response team of the Ombudsman's office made sure that no violence was applied against Sefilyan and Gevorgyan.
To note, today during the trial the lawyers of the defendants reported that law enforcement officers used violence against Sefilyan and Gevorgyan. At the trial, an incident occurred again due to the fact that when the judge entered the courtroom the defendants did not stand upright, because of which sanctions were applied against them. Some were removed from the courtroom.
