Police use brutal force against oppositionists in Yerevan – VIDEO
`Armenian police brutally beat and made us get in the car. I had head inquiries because of more than 15 beats on my head. Then police made us get off the car kicking and swearing us. They told that nothing would be the same as before and would use brutal force against us`, Arthur Sargsyann said in his statement to the Armenian Media.
A group of armed men stormed into a Yerevan police regiment, on early morning on July 17, and took several police officers hostage. Deputy regiment commander Artur Vanoyan was killed, and four other police officers plus one of the attackers were wounded during the ensuing gunfire exchange.
