Armenian civic activist forcibly taken to court - VIDEO
Former political prisoner, Armenian civic activist Vardges Gaspari refused on Thursday to show up for his trial at Yerevan`s Shengavit district court and was dragged out of his home by law enforcement officers, AzVision.az reports citing Armenian media.
When the officers came for Gaspari to his house, the activist lay down at the door of his apartment and said he would only be taken to court by force. The police then took Gaspari by his limbs and moved him to the police car.

In courtroom, Gaspari was put on the floor and did not say a word throughout the entirety of the hearing.

Judge Nelly Baghdasaryan urged the activist to “take a more decent position,” warning to otherwise impose a “strict judicial sanction” in the form of a 3-hour removal from courtroom. The judge`s remark was also left unanswered by Vardges Gaspari.
