Armenia’s NSS wants to seize lawyer’s computer

The National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia wants to confiscate a computer belonging to lawyer Hovhannes Chamsaryan as part of a criminal case where he was a witness representative.

Shushan Tadevosyan, a senior legal consultant at Avenue Consulting Group, broke the news on Facebook.

“The computer contains confidential information, which is inviolable by law. This is an outright violation of the lawyer's activity,” she said.

Following the report, the rapid response team of the Human Rights Defender's Office headed to Chamsaryan's law firm where a NSS investigator is to seize his computer.
