Clampdown on Dissent
ARMENIA Using batons and water cannons, police broke up a rally of
thousands of demonstrators in Yerevan calling for the resignation of
President Robert Kocharian, seriously injuring 30 people and
detaining 115. Opposition leaders, who claim Kocharian rigged his
re-election last year, launched another rally at the end of the week,
in defiance of a ban on further public protests.
