The Criminal Court of Appeal on Friday ruled against the appeal of the attorney of Narek Mantashyan, head of the “Alternative” NGO and a member of the opposition "Armenia" Bloc—led by second President Robert Kocharyan—, to commute Mantashyan’s current pretrial measure of detention.

Mantashyan has been charged under Sections 1 and 2 of Article 225 of the Criminal Code of Armenia; that is, organizing mass riots and using violence during them, carrying out destruction or arson, destruction or damage to property, use of firearms, explosives or explosive devices, or armed resistance to a representative of the authorities.
