AntiFake employees detained in Yerevan
Two employees of the AntiFake media outlet were detained in Yerevan early on Monday, lawyer Ruben Melikyan revealed.
Citing preliminary data, he said they were arrested for posting flyers in support of political prisoners Vazgen Saghatelyan and Narek Samsonyan, co-hosts of the Imnemnimi podcast broadcast by AntiFake TV.
“The employees were taken to the Davtashen police station,” the lawyer wrote on Facebook.
Panorama.am could not immediately reach the police for comment.
In late March, Vazgen Saghatelyan and Narek Samsonyan were given two-month pretrial detention on charges of “hooliganism” after they used slur language to criticize Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his government.
