Businessman Samvel Karapetyan organizes legal assistance for  illegally prosecuted people 

ArmInfo.  Russian businessman of Armenian origin, head of the Tashir Group of Companies Samvel Karapetyan initiated legal assistance for those illegally persecuted  in Armenia. This was reported by the businessman's nephew Narek  Karapetyan.

"Dear compatriots, if you or a member of your family have also been  subjected to illegal criminal prosecution and imprisonment, at the  initiative of Samvel Karapetyan, defense groups have been created  that will handle your cases free of charge and try to achieve a fair  decision for you," Narek said, publishing a list of contacts of  lawyers who are ready to provide legal assistance. All expenses for  the lawyers were covered by Karapetyan's family.

Recall that Samvel Karapetyan was detained on the night of June 18 in  Yerevan by Armenian law enforcement agencies after he expressed  support for the Armenian Apostolic Church. In response, this was  followed by open threats from the Prime Minister. On the night of  June 19, the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction arrested the  president of the Tashir Group of Companies, Samvel Karapetyan, for  two months.  He is accused of publicly calling for the seizure of  power in the country. Karapetyan does not admit guilt.  His defense  has already filed an appeal against this verdict to a higher court.
