ArmInfo. Vazgen Saghatelyan and Narek Samsonyan, hosts of the "Imnemnimi" podcast, have been placed under administrative supervision. This was reported by one of the hosts, Vazgen Saghatelyan.
"The administrative supervision imposed on us has been lifted, and we'll be returning to "Imnemnimi" tomorrow," Saghatelyan wrote on his Facebook page.
As a reminder, bloggers Narek Samsonyan and Vazgen Saghatelyan were detained on November 13, 2025, in Yerevan. On the same day, the AntiFake.am editorial office was searched, and all equipment was confiscated. They were detained following a complaint from the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonyan, for allegedly using obscene language. The investigation accuses them of hooliganism.
Notably, this statement followed Simonyan's initial insult to the podcast hosts in a post on his Facebook page, after which they responded. On January 9, the court extended the arrest of the "Imnemnimi" podcast hosts for another three months, after which Narek Samsonyan declared an indefinite hunger strike in protest of the unfair trial. A week after the hunger strike, Samsonyan began experiencing health problems and was taken to the Izmirlyan Medical Center. On March 24, the house arrest imposed on political prisoner Narek Samsonyan was replaced by administrative supervision with a ban on public speaking. Saghatelyan was transferred to house arrest on April 2. On June 1, 2026, Saghatelyan's pre-trial detention was also changed to administrative supervision.
