Armenian-Canadian actress and producer Arsinee Khanjian was among hundreds of people detained in Yerevan, Armenia, near a police station that has been occupied by gunmen for 10 days.
A spokesperson for Khanjian, who is married to Canadian director Atom Egoyan, told CTV News that she was no longer detained as of Wednesday afternoon.
The reason and the duration of her detention were not immediately clear.
In a video posted online by Armenian news outlet CivilNet, Khanjian is heard talking to someone in English on her cellphone, while police officers surround her.
“They want to take me in with two people,” she says in the video. “They have been pushing me.”
