Armenia's Police have made a statement saying all the citizens detained during the unsanctioned rallies on July 26-27 have been set free, except several citizens who will be set free after giving testimonies to the Investigative Committee. Police Lt. Colonel Ayvazyan addressed the protesters late at night on October 27 asking them to stop unsanctioned rallies.
Earlier, Daredevils of Sasoun, the armed loyalists of the jailed oppositionist Jirayr Sefilyan that seized the Police Patrol Service Regime on July 17 demanding Sefilyan's release and resignation of the president, demanded the authorities to set free all the citizens detained, to resign and create a government of public confidence.
Garegin Chugaszyan, the leader of the Founding Parliament initiative, who was put on the wanted list of the Police a few days ago, disseminated a statement past night and urged an "immediate release of the members of the anti-crisis group" warning the authorities and personally Serzh Sargsyan that the responsibility for suppressing the many thousand strong rally will be laid on them. During the last two days, hundreds of citizens were detained.
