 All of them were released after being held overnight at the  Shengavit police department. None of the suspicions raised by the  police were confirmed.  As a result of a medical examination, Armine  Simonyan was diagnosed with a ligament injury in the left shoulder  area, possibly a rupture that occurred when the police used force  while taking her to the police station.  Nane Baghdasaryan sustained  wrist and shoulder injuries. Other members of the party also suffered  due to the police actions.  The statement also notes that none of the  members of the Armenian National Unity were given the opportunity to  contact a lawyer or a relative throughout the night.
