Police Officers Bring People to Police Without Any Explanation

Police     Civil Control     /2008-March-04/

On March 4th 2008, the employees of Vanadzor Police brought several Vanadzor locals to the Police department.

Peninyan Hapet, citizen of Vanadzor came to HCA Vanadzor and informed the following: “At about 11 in the morning the policemen visited my house. They brought my sons –Harutyun Peninyan, Hrayr Peninyan, and my relative Hosep Ter-Petrosyan to Vanadzor police station.” By the explanation of Hapet Peninyan, his sons participated in the rallies in Yerevan.
The police officers did not tell them anything even when Hapet Peninyan came to the police station at 12:30. After that Hapet Peninyan made a request to Vanadzor police station to get information about those who had been brought to the police station. A policeman at the entrance asked him to go back saying: “You bring your application as if there is time.”
  The same day at 10:30 in the morning, Vahagn Martirosyan, a proxy of Levon Ter-Petrosyan, was brought to the police station. The policemen did not explain why they had brought them to the police station.
  So far there hasn’t been any information about those who were brought to Vanadzor police station and they haven’t been released yet. Their legal status is not known either.
