A number of NGOs came up with a statement on youth movement activist Tigran Arakelyan who was in detention for about two and a half months on charges of resisting police officers. He was summoned to Yerevan's Kentron administrative district police department, ostensibly as the victim of the attack, but after several hours of interrogation and confrontation with the officers involved in the fight, he instead stood accused, charged with "offering resistance to a representative of authorities" under Article 258, section 3, subsection 2 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia.
