The special forces of the Criminal Police have detained former Gyumri mayor and current mayoral candidate Vardan Ghukasyan, along with his bodyguard. Ghukasyan himself reported the incident on social media.
According to his statement, his lawyer was prevented from entering the regional police department. “The door of the regional department building has once again been unlawfully closed in front of Vardan Ghukasyan’s lawyer,” he wrote.
The detention comes just weeks ahead of the extraordinary city council elections in Gyumri, scheduled for March 30.

However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors. But because group chats and the channel features are not end-to-end encrypted, Galperin said user privacy is potentially under threat. The Security Service of Ukraine said in a tweet that it was able to effectively target Russian convoys near Kyiv because of messages sent to an official Telegram bot account called "STOP Russian War." At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. A Russian Telegram channel with over 700,000 followers is spreading disinformation about Russia's invasion of Ukraine under the guise of providing "objective information" and fact-checking fake news. Its influence extends beyond the platform, with major Russian publications, government officials, and journalists citing the page's posts.
