In Armenia, Khachik Galstyan, secretary of the opposition Rodina party, was detained after a search. Fellow party members considered this political persecution.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot, on December 15, ARF Dashnaktsutyun activists held a protest outside the EU office in Yerevan and demanded that the EU officially record the presence of political prisoners in Armenia. Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated on December 28 that there are no political prisoners in the country.

In June 2025, a series of arrests of political opponents of the current government took place in Armenia. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan accused the opposition of plotting a coup, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Main Points on Political Arrests in Armenia in 2025".

Anti-Corruption Committee officers detained Khachik Galstyan, secretary of the opposition Rodina party, News.am reported today, citing lawyer Sos Hakobyan.

Party leader Artur Vanetsyan said that investigators searched Galstyan's apartment for reasons unknown to him. "We are dealing with yet another case of political persecution," the publication quotes Vanetsyan as saying.
