A pro-opposition journalist arrested and detained on 2 June has been released. Ani Gevorgian was covering a sit-in for the daily national newspaper Haykakan Zhanamak when police clashed with protesters and arrested 17 people. Police allege she struck a police officer. However, other journalists maintain that Gevorgian’s reports on local police had angered authorities. A video of the protests appears to show Gevorgian photographing arrests, before being detained herself. Gevorgian face charges of assaulting law-enforcement personnel and hooliganism.
