The Special Investigative Service has instituted a criminal case over the facts of police's use of violence against demonstrators and journalists in Yerevan on July 20-30.
The Special Investigative Service says that the police exceeded authority "in the prejudice of service or deliberately". In particular, the matter concerns the use of riot control devices in Khorenatsi Street and Sari Tagh district of Yerevan, violence against the detainees and journalists, as well as the obstacles hindering the meetings of lawyers and their defendants. The Service also urges the persons injured as a result of the police's actions to provide the investigative body with facts about violation of laws by the law-enforcers.
