RA Investigative Committee head must provide evidence of alleged  `terrorism` by November 13 -. arrested Armenian clergyman demands

ArmInfo. Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the "Sacred Struggle" movement, demanded that the head of the Armenian Investigative Committee, Srbuhi Galyan, provide evidence of his alleged "terrorism" preparations by November 13. Galstanyan voiced this demand in a letter from the pretrial detention center where he has been held since summer. The letter was distributed by the "Sacred Struggle" movement's press service on Facebook.

According to Archbishop Bagrat, otherwise, the head of the Armenian  Investigative Committee should be removed from office, stripped of  his rank, and prosecuted for slander, deliberate distortion of the  truth, and propaganda of lies. "In these days, when our inner world  is consumed by the tragedy of defeat in a brutal war and the loss of  our homeland, Artsakh, as well as the memories of the thousands of  dead, missing, and wounded, our personal hardships seem  insignificant. However, following my statement made in the courtroom  on November 6, I once again insist that the head of the Investigative  Committee is clearly a fraud and a liar," Galstanyan's message reads,  emphasizing that there is no alternative to the victory of truth.

As a reminder, on June 25, 18 opposition figures and supporters of  the "Sacred Struggle" movement, led by the movement's leader,  Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, were arrested. They are accused of  attempting to "seize power." Recorded conversations between movement  members are cited as evidence of their guilt.  Experts have  repeatedly stated that the illegal wiretaps were edited and presented  in a favorable light.
