YEREVAN. – The media reports on alleged use of violence against the detainees in the Kapan Police Department have been sent from the Prosecutor General's Office to the Special Investigation Service, and with instructions to prepare reports and resolve the course. Gor Abrahamyan, Adviser to the Prosecutor General of Armenia, wrote about this on his Facebook page on Monday.

As reported earlier, four residents of Kajaran town were detained Sunday, one of whom was later released, but it turned out that he had been subjected to violence at the police precinct.
