"Zhoghovurd": A citizen who says "treacherous abortion" is tortured, and the Speaker of the National Assembly, who does not care about the citizen, is an unpunished privileged person.

"Zhoghovurd" daily newspaper writes: "Policemen on their professional day "shined" with violence. The citizen who insulted the KP deputy was not only arrested, but on the way to the place of detention, the masked people brutally beat him, humiliated him, and tortured him.

Alen Simonyan can be spat on and remain unpunished, but an opposition citizen is imprisoned and then beaten for expressing his opinion. Yesterday, the incident between NA KP deputy Hakob Aslanyan and citizen Samvel Vardanyan rekindled the passions of the authorities. Immediately after the incident, Hakob Aslanyan stated in a conversation with ArmLur.am that he would not file a complaint against the citizen, but as a result of a political decision, he filed a complaint with the police. Meanwhile, Alen Simonyan, who spat on citizen Karen Mkrtchyan, and Arthur Hovhannisyan, who threatened the opposition candidate for ombudsman on live air, that they showed hooliganism, boldly condemned the citizen's move yesterday.

At their urging, a report was submitted to the Investigative Committee against citizen Samvel Vardanyan. A decision was made to arrest Samvel, and on the way to transfer him to the prison, he was brutally beaten by masked men, inflicting not only physical, but also sexual and psychological violence, accompanied by curses. Yesterday, the lawyers informed that after beating citizen Samvel, the masked persons who beat him raised his head and spat on him together. It's a very familiar handwriting, isn't it?

The citizen who made the statement "treacherous abortion" is brutally tortured and subjected to violence, and the speaker of the National Assembly who does not care about the citizen, the secretary of the CP, who threatens them, become unpunished privileges. This is the selective justice and the use of violent imprisonment by the authorities. Moreover, Nikol Pashinyan visited the Ministry of Internal Affairs and participated in the event dedicated to Police Day after the armed gang scandal was raised yesterday, but did not say a word about the use of violence against a citizen after violating public order.

On the contrary, Nikol Pashinyan stated. "If the police should not use force often, then who needs this structure?" It turns out that the head of the country himself preaches violence in the footnotes, while if we go back to the past, Nikol Pashinyan could have appeared in Samvel Vardanyan's place for those same words.

Let's remind that the regime of Saakashvili, once beloved in Georgia, started to be rejected by the Georgians, when there were footages of how the policemen tortured and humiliated the male detainees with their truncheons.
