Eleven defense attorneys in the Sasna Tsrer (Daredevils of Sassoun) trial have begun a strike, refusing to enter the courtroom where the hearing in the case is underway. The strike was announced after court bailiffs disallowed attorneys Arayik Papikyan and Mushegh Shushanyan from attending today’s court session. Only public defenders are participating in the trial. The judge decided to use sanctions against Papikyan and Shushanyan and apply to the Chamber of Advocates.
