Police in riot gear stormed a rally on May 2, removing hundreds of protesters by trucks. There are citizens who have received bodily injuries. In this video that has been widely circulated on the Internet, several police officers dragged a man to the car, who was punched several times by the police officer, and then pulled aside under the rebellious shouts of his colleagues and other demonstrators. An official investigation was appointed against the policeman who hit the citizen on the head with his fist during the demonstration. The RA Police informed “Fastinfo” about this.
Lawyer Hovhannes Khudoyan wrote on his Facebook page, “Do not say he used violence, brute force, the phenomenon has a clear criminal description:
