“Civil Will For and Against” initiative group on forum of social
organizations has today made a statement, which particularly says
irrespective of results of a possible dialogue between Opposition and
Authorities violence and breaches of human rights and basic freedoms in
Armenia are beyond political bargaining: {BR}
“We, the representatives of Armenia’s civil society not being for political
struggle and not laying claims to power, demand the Authorities:
1. to promptly release all the political prisoners;
2. to punish the persons having applied violence to journalists;
3. to punish the state officials having broken the Constitutional rights and
to condemn the phenomenon;
4. not to use the state and social institutions as tools for home political
struggle;
5. to make changes to the Law on “Meetings, Rallies and Marches”, bringing
it in correspondence with spirit and letter of human basic freedoms;
6. to provide the basic right of a citizen to get free information,
particularly to grant frequency to “A1+” TV Company”, the statement says.
