June 12, 2024 marked one of the worst days of police brutality in modern Armenian history.
Police fired stun grenades at protesters and journalists.
Over 100 people suffered injuries—some life altering.
One was Yesayai Karamyan.
Armenia's northeastern village of Kirants is under a tightening blockade, cut off from normal grocery deliveries by a police barricade.
The Pashinyan administration is pressing forward with new concessions that will see the village split and the entry of Azeri forces.
