Arresting the two schoolchildren in handcuffs on suspicion of illegal weapons raised a lot of noise in the social and political field.
This noisy arrest was called a political persecution, because both minor girls are active supporters of the Holy Struggle and were targeted for the distribution of leaflets, and on the same day, a group of 9 people of the movement's supporters were arrested, again on the suspicion of possessing weapons and ammunition.
The girls refused to speak in front of Euromedia 24's camera, after political persecution and deliberate targeting, they avoid to discuss again in the environment of their classmates and relatives.
Milena is studying in the 12th grade of one of Yerevan's high schools.
He was walking with his girlfriend in Yerevan when the police approached them, arrested him unexpectedly and took him to the police station.
According to the school-aged girl, the boys were arrested in a more rude manner, and they were handcuffed again. He says: we demanded an explanation: why, on what basis, but the police did not give an explanation.
The girls were kept in the police station for 6 hours, then they were released after not providing the outdated operational data of the law enforcement system.
According to Milena, it was expected for her to appear under the magnifying glass of the law enforcement officers.
The 18-year-old schoolgirl is sure that these arrests are of a purely political nature, because the active part of the movement is under the magnifying glass of the law enforcement officers, and they, a group of young people, have a political position and have always actively participated in the rallies and political actions led by the Holy Father.
By the way, 6 days after the arrest, the schoolchildren still did not return their personal belongings (telephones and other personal items, - ed.).
"After arriving at the department and waiting there for a few hours, we were only told why they were detained, on the suspicion of illegal possession of weapons, and it was not substantiated, that is, it was illegal."
My friend, Ellen, and I stayed in the police station for several hours, and on the same day, our two young friends were taken to the DZVP.
After being kept there for a few days, they were released," Milena said, emphasizing that Hovhannes Khudoyan provided legal services, and in addition, opposition deputies also visited them.
Milena assures that nothing has changed for them with police repressions, they are firm and will fight relentlessly, even if they are arrested.
"They are trying to silence us, but our struggle will not end like this, it is impossible to silence us. We will continue the fight, but before acting illegally, let the law enforcement officers think and analyze who they are working for in the end. We will not surrender..." , Milena concluded.
