The court sets a condition for people: if you participate in a rally,  you`ll be sent back to prison: Lidiya Mantashyan

ArmInfo. "As you know, the arrest of the clergy, myself, and other political prisoners, among other things, had one common goal: to intimidate, frighten, and break us and other dissidents. I'm glad you weren't intimidated))) And I've BECOME STRONGER in these 5 months:".  This message was delivered from  the Armavir penitentiary by Lidiya Mantashyan, the only female  defendant in the "Sacred Struggle" movement case.

"If you noticed, the court ordered all the young men released in our  case to avoid public gatherings.  As we all understand, this ban does  not apply to visiting overcrowded military units, overcrowded medical  centers, crowded weddings, and other places; we are talking about  RALLIES AND DEMONSTRATIONS.

In other words, the court is setting a condition for people: if you  participate in a demonstration, you will be sent back to prison. What  have we come to?  Today, my spiritual mentor, Archbishop Bagrat, and  I, along with others are being persecuted under a fabricated  "terrorism" case. They have given me a harsher sentence (as a  preventive measure), and have portrayed me to the public as the  country's "number one terrorist," she wrote.

Arrested Lidiya Mantashyan expressed regret that the state has found  itself in the current situation, "where a judge is guided not by his  convictions, but by orders." "Before the court announced the decision  in my case, I stated in my speech before the court that I was  informed that the court had not received PERMISSION for your  release." The court didn't even react to my words. At the very least,  it should have said that there was no such thing, that I was acting  independently. It didn't say that because it had nothing to say...

It's not the difficulties I'm experiencing that hurt me, but the fact  that the legal and other systems of our state have been crushed. This  only reminds us of one thing: we cannot stop talking about JUSTICE  AND TRUTH and continue the fight without complaint. I am confident  that our struggle will be crowned with VICTORY, and the generation of  independence will build the COUNTRY OF OUR DREAMS... WITH GOD... "  she wrote,  signing  "With gratitude and love. Armenian "terrorist"  No. 1 Lidiya Mantashyan. Abovyan Penitentiary, cell No. 19."
