On April 24, 2024, the RA NA received a message from law enforcement agencies stating that a person participating in a protest at Isakov Park in Yerevan was detained for not complying with public order requirements.

According to the decision of the RA Government Staff to maintain public order during the protest, a police officer on duty at Isakov Park encountered resistance while trying to enforce measures outlined in the Criminal Code. The officer was attempting to control a group of protesters who were blocking a road and disrupting public order. Despite the officer’s request, one participant physically resisted.

In an effort to regain control of the situation, the officer approached the individual and was then struck with kicks and punches. After other protesters arrived, the woman left the scene.

An investigation is currently underway to thoroughly examine the incident and determine the circumstances surrounding the actions of the police officer, in accordance with the law’s requirements.

The actions of the police officer were carried out within the boundaries of the law to maintain public order, ensure the execution of official duties, and protect personal safety.
