LIVE: Yerevan court continues preliminary hearings in case against opposition activists
The Criminal Court in Yerevan on Tuesday resumed preliminary hearings in the case involving opposition activists Narek Samsonyan and Vazgen Saghatelyan.
The activists, who co-host the Imnemnimi podcast, were released on 21 May, two months after being detained on charges of “hooliganism” for using slur language to criticize Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his government.
Presiding judge Arman Hovhannisyan banned them from hosting the Imnemnimi podcast or other programs for three months.
