Supporter of "Mother Armenia" party detained for criticizing  ruling  party`s Vagharshapat mayoral candidate - lawyer

ArmInfo.  Ono Harutyunyan, supporter of "Mother Armenia" party and blogger, has been detained on charges of "hooliganism," as reported by the  political party's press service to ArmInfo, citing the blogger's  lawyer, Sergey Sargsyan.

 "Harutyunyan was detained for criticizing Argishti Mekhakyan, the  ruling Civil Contract party's candidate for mayor of Vagharshapat. It  was later revealed  that Harutyunyan had been held at the police  station during the search for him, and was then transferred to the  Vagharshapat investigative department.  Harutyunyan's arrest was  based  on statements he made during a live broadcast on  TikTok," the  lawyer noted. According to the political party, Harutyunyan was  abducted on November 12 by an unidentified group of civilians who  claimed to be police officers but didn't show any identification. The  blogger was forcibly taken to a car after being thrown  to the ground  outside the party office. It's worth noting that the blogger had been  covering the illegal actions of the Vagharshapat mayor's office.
