ArmInfo. On the afternoon January 10, supporters of the Sasna Tsrer conducted a protest action in front of the building of the Criminal Executive Department of the Ministry of Justice of Armenia. The protesters, in particular, demanded Armen Bilyan and Smbat Barseghyan to be transferred into another penitentiary institution Nubarashen.
Also, the protesters demanded a meeting with the head of the Penitentiary Department Artur Osikyan, however, the latter refused to meet. After some time, the protesters decided to block the roadway of Arshakunyats Avenue - chanting "Sasna Tsrer" and "Death to the regime" and "Do not let the members of the Sasna Tsrer group die of hunger." However, police officers quickly managed to force out the demonstrators from the roadway to the sidewalk.
After the clashes, the protesters went to the court of general jurisdiction of the Yerevan districts of Avan and Nor Nork, where a hearing was to be held on the case of Sasna Tsrer.
