Davit Hambardzumyan, mayor of Masis, Armenia, will not be arrested. His lawyer Tigran Atanesyan wrote about this on his Facebook (FB) page.

"The advisor to the RA [Republic of Armenia] Prosecutor General (…) made a post on FB about a decision made by the RA Court of Cassation in November 2019 and just now sent to the parties regarding the pretrial measure of Davit Hambardzumyan.

First, by the decision, the appeal of the Prosecutor General's Office has been DENIED.

(…) the opinion on the impermissibility of bail is strictly abstract and detached from reality.

Suffice it to say that the charge of [Hambardzumyan] organizing the uproarious mass riots (…) vanished, and the criminal prosecution against D. Hambardzumyan in that regard has been dropped by the investigator due to lack of corpus delicti in the act.

The current charge [against] also has nothing to do with reality, it also shatters during the court trial," Atanesyan added, in particular.
