"On May 15, the trial of Davit Matevosyan, charged with fabricated crimes, continued in the General Court of the Kentron and Nork-Marash district in Yerevan. It began with an incident, to put it mildly. When the judge entered the court, one row of the attendees did not stand. This angered Judge Yerem Yesoyan, who is experienced in sending people to prison on trumped up charges, as well as the employees of the Security section of the Justice Department. They began to beat Petros Makeyan's two sons--Karen and Tigran Makeyan--while still in the courtroom, and continued the beating as they dragged them out of the building.
According to witnesses, electroshock was also used. The Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Armenia may consider this announcement as an official notification of a crime. " [Makeyan link mine]
