Lawyer joins protest outside Armenia's Interior Ministry wearing body armor, helmet

A group of lawyers on Tuesday staged an anti-police brutality protest outside the building of Armenia’s Interior Ministry. One of them was wearing a bulletproof vest and a helmet and was holding a banner reading "No to violence”.

The protest was sparked by the violence against lawyer Karen Alaverdyan in police custody in Yerevan earlier in June.

Earlier, they held protests outside the Prosecutor General's Office and the EU Office in Yerevan.
