No Charges Filed Against Any Police Officer for Violence Against Citizens on June 12

Human rights defender and lawyer Ruben Melikyan writes on his Facebook page: “Today, the investigative body has announced the completion of the preliminary investigation into the June 12 case. The case concerning 14 defendants is being sent to court.

Four of the defendants are in detention (Karmen Mnatsakanyan, Avetik Jilavyan, Armenak Khachatryan, Levon Safaryan), while the others are under house arrest.

Let me remind you that no police officer has even been charged for the violence committed against citizens.”
