Today 28 "convicts" queued up at the RA Prosecutor’s Office. It was
only a fragment of today’s protest action organized by the Youth
Movement "Now". Each of the 28 young people had a letter on their
clothing, which read "Release the political prisoners".

"Even if it is ridiculous for the Attorney General we want to remind
him once again that, in fact, the detainees are political prisoners
and they should be immediately released. We are also going to remind
various diplomatic agencies in Armenia about the existence of political
prisoners in our country", Daniel Ioanissian, "Now" press secretary,
informed "A1+". Besides the 28 "convicts" there was also 1 "policeman"
among the protestors.

After expressing their demand at the Prosecutor’s Office, "Now" members
started for Myasnikian Statue, where they perpetuated the memory of
March 1 victims with a moment of silence. They also expressed their
complaint at the French and Italian Embassies in Armenia, and at the
Governmental Buildings. Members of "Now" Youth Movement also passed
by the Presidential Residence and the National Assembly, after which
they went to Northern Avenue for "political walks". The police only
forbade the young people to enter "Azatutyan" (Liberty) Square.
