Lawyers will go on strike in Yerevan to show support for arrested attorney Erik Aleksanyan, his colleague Zhirayr Gharagyozyan said on Monday.
Aleksanyan was remanded into custody on 19 October as part of a criminal probe also involving judge Arusyak Aleksanyan and her assistant.
“Aleksanyan’s legal team will issue a statement soon. I am asking for the legal community’s support for the further processes and their active engagement. In particular, a collection of signatures and a strike for at least a few hours will be held,” Karagyozyan told a press conference.
The lawyer stated that the National Security Service (NSS) officers used brute force to arrest Erik Aleksanyan near a Yerevan court.
“Masked officers threw him to the ground. The practice we have repeatedly criticized was used against our colleague, who obviously had no intention to do anything illegal,” the lawyer said.
“They staged a mask show to intimidate other lawyers,” he added.
