"In the morning, NSS special forces broke into our house, armed to the teeth, they made us all lie on the ground, they beat me, they detained my father, Gagik Sargsyan, who is a party member."

Aram Sargsyan, former journalist, employee of RA Ministry of High-tech Industry, writes on his Facebook page. "Dear friends, I am writing on the occasion of an extraordinary incident. Since morning, the whole house has been in such a nightmare that I could not have imagined in my worst dream.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the NSS special forces, armed to the teeth, stormed into our house. They made us all lie on the ground, terrorized us all, they hit me, they made my poor mother's gall bladder, that's how they scared us.

They searched the whole house, turned it upside down, and after several hours of investigative operations, they detained my father, Gagik Sargsyan, a party member. Now we don't know where he is, in what condition he is.

My father is an honest, decent, exceptionally patriotic man. Whoever knows him knows well. So far, they have not said anything about the reasons, but I am sure that it is related to his oppositional political views and political activity.

I don't know what we did that the "democratic" authorities of our native state treat us as the most dangerous criminal - they didn't even go after Nairi Hunanyan like that - but for now I put this issue aside.

Practical steps are more important now. I don't know what can be done in such a situation. If any of my friends can provide legal, lawyer or other help, can give some advice, please write."
