Alek Enigomshyan, a member of the "Constitutional Parliament", arrested on suspicion of aiding in the seizure of the police regiment building, is in need of medical treatment and cannot stay in a cell. This was reported by his advocate.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on July 28, Alek Enigomshyan, a member of the "Constituent Parliament", detained at a protest action in Yerevan, was arrested on suspicion of aiding in the seizure of the police regiment building. According to Nikolai Bagdasaryan, an advocate of Alek Enigomshyan, violations were committed during his detention.

Since July 17, members of the "Constituent Parliament" seize the building of the police regiment in Yerevan. They demand the resignation of the Armenian President, the formation of an interim government, and the release of political prisoners, including their leader Zhirair Sefilyan.

The cell of the detention facility of the National Security Service of Armenia, where Alek Enigomshyan is being kept is deprived of elementary living conditions, the advocate reports. He has explained that the health of Alek Enigomshyan deteriorated after his detention.

According to the police, the seizure of the police regiment building involved 30 rebels, apart from Tatul Tamrazyan, wounded during the assault, the "Armenianreport.com" reports. Since the seizure of the building, it was left by six members of the armed group.
