Lawyer: Sister of killed Artsakh serviceman detained in front of  minors for anti-Pashinyan Facebook comment

ArmInfo. In the town of Nor Hachn in Armenia's Kotayk Province, the sister of a deceased Artsakh serviceman, a mother of five, was detained and taken to the Dilijan Investigative Department. The arrest took place late in the evening  in front of her children, three of whom were minors. Artsakh lawyer  Roman Yeritsyan reported this live on his Facebook page.

He stated that the reason for the arrest was the woman's call for  "violence against Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan" in the  comments under a Facebook post. "The woman was taken to the  investigative department along with one of her children due to his  age. Moreover, this all happened late at night. I want everyone to  understand the repression people face in Armenia for their political  views or statements, and the people of Artsakh are especially  vulnerable in this regard," the lawyer stated, calling the situation  absurd.

After midnight, Gegham Manukyan, a member of the National Assembly of  Armenia from the opposition "Armenia" faction, announced that the  mother of the minors had already returned home, but that she would be  required to appear for questioning at the investigative department  today, March 18. It should be noted that the Investigative Committee  of Armenia has not yet commented on the situation. The Ombudsman of  Armenia has not yet issued an assessment.
