Aram Manukyan to stay in custody for another two months
A Yerevan court today extended for another two months the preventive punishment of Aram Manukyan, a member of the Sasna Dzrer armed group that seized a police station in Yerevan in July, Manukyan’s lawyer Harutyun Baghdasaryan says he expected the court to take such a decision. That was the main reason that his client did not show up in the court. The lawyer had visited Manukyan before the court sitting. “What is the use of my coming?! The same thing happens each time. Aram does not believe that there might be any changes in the case hearing,” the lawyer said to A1+ Company. Pavel Manukyan, one of the revolted Sasna Dsrer group leaders, and his son Aram Manukyan, were wounded in their legs in a shootout with law-enforcement officers in the territory of the seized police station on July 27. The father and his wounded son underwent surgery at the Erebuni Medical Center later but Aram was unable to walk for a long time.
