Students of Yerevan school were in panic after NSS raid, lawyer says
Students of Yerevan’s John Kirakosyan Basic School No. 20 were terrified following the raid carried out by the National Security Service (NSS), lawyer Ruben Melikyan said.
NSS officers raided the school on Thursday, brutally arresting a physics teacher accused of lewd acts with a minor. The teacher was forced to the ground in front of students.
Melikyan, whose sons also attend John Kirakosyan School, said that school students ran in panic and went into hiding during the raid.
“The classmates of one of my sons thought that they were terrorists,” he wrote on Facebook, denouncing the NSS conduct.
