R. Manukyan’s lawyer Hovsep Sargsyan filed a petition against the arrest of Robert Manukyan. Speaking to Aysor.am he said that the court has upheld their petition as it has been found out that the police measures while arresting Manukyan were not lawful.
“The court came to conclusion that the measures of the police while arresting Robert Manukyan were not lawful. He later was beaten in the police department,” Sargsyan said.
