New Armenia Front: "Zhirayr Sefilyan's political persecution speaks of illegitimate constitutional reform"

 The political persecution against Zhirayr Sefilyan, the leader of the United Opposition Headquarters running against the constitutional amendments in Armenia, speaks of the illegitimate constitutional reform and impedes the counter-agitation," New Armenia Front says in a statement.

The law-enforcement does not stop the case against Sefilyan despite any progress over the past months. 

"They resumed persecution against Sefilyan in the height of the agitation against the Constitutional amendments to exert pressure on him, to impede the campaign of the United Opposition Headquarters, which speaks of the illegitimacy of the constitutional amendments and the upcoming referendum," the authors of the statement say.
Late at night on November 10, a group of Police officers visited Zhirayr Sefilyan, the leader of the United Opposition Headquarter running against the president-initiated Constitutional Amendments, and demanded him to appear before the Investigation Committee on November 11 in the morning for interrogation over the case on organizations of civil unrest on April 24 2015.

The case was initiated on April 7, but all the suspects were released for recognizance not to leave. According to the United Opposition Headquarter press-office, Sefilyan did not let the police officers in his apartment, but promised to contact the investigator over the issue. "The United Opposition Headquarters assesses such actions as a failed attempt to exert pressure on the Headquarters and its leader, which shows the panic and fear of the Government," the press- office says.
To recall, Zhrayr Sefilyan has said recently that United Opposition Headquarters is determined to achieve a power change in Armenia by all means possible.
