Zhirayr Sefilyan, the leader of the "Centenary without regime" movement, left the courtrooml shortly before announcing that he could not participate in the torture ceremony of Nerses Poghosyan. To remind, the latter was on hunger strike for 22 days, and, as the defender said, was unable to attend the session, but the motion to postpone the hearing was rejected. Judge Tatevik Grigoryan urged him to stay in the courtroom, but Sefilyan did not change his decision. Defender Tigran Hayrapetyan stated that from now on it was possible that they would not participate in any court session if the motion to postpone the session was rejected. After Jirayr Sefilyan left the courtroom, Nerses Poghosyan, his defenders and Tigran Hayrapetyan also left the courtroom. At this moment Judge Tatevik Grigoryan has left for the consultative room to make a decision and the defenders refuse to enter the conference hall.
