Vazgen Saghatelyan and Narek Samsonyan released from custody
Political prisoners Narek Samsonyan and Vazgen Saghatelyan have been released from pre-trial custody.
The activists, who co-host the Imnemnimi podcast, were detained on charges of hooliganism on 22 March after using slur language to criticize Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his government for their plans to cede territories to Azerbaijan.
Judge Arman Hovhannisyan of Yerevan’s Criminal Court on Tuesday ordered their release, but banned them from hosting the Imnemnimi podcast or other programs for three months.
The next court hearing has been scheduled for June 18.
