YEREVAN. – Relatives of those involved in trial on Shant Harutyunyan's case on Sunday met with Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Nils Muiznieks.

They talked to the Commissioner, presenting him details of the case, Harutyunyan's ex-wife told reporters on Monday.

“I spoke about 15-year-old Shahen [Harutyunyan's son], and the Commissioner told me he should not be held accountable at all. I understood that he is well aware of the case,” Ruzanna Badalyan said, adding that Nils Muiznieks promised to follow the trial.

A list of 17 political prisoners was handed over to the Council of Europe Commissioner.

The United National Initiative leader and activist Shant Harutyunyan announced starting a revolution, on November 5, 2013. Together with close to several dozen supporters wearing Guy Fawkes “Anonymous masks”, he started a march toward the Presidential Palace, but the police had stopped the march.
