NEW REPRISALS AGAINST RALLY PARTICIPANTS

The police keep on persecuting political activists and opposition-minded
people. Justice alliance members say after Wednesday’s peaceful rally 22
were taken in police custody, 13 of them are to stand trial, 25 were fined,
100 were abducted and their present whereabouts are unknown.

Eyewitnesses say people are being captured in the street by men dressed as
civilians, then put in cars without license plates and taken in police
stations.

PM and Justice alliance member Viktor Dallakyan says Robert Kocharyan and
his administration have declared war against the people.

The alliance members have strongly condemned brutal attack on Socialist
Forces leader Ashot Manucharyan.
