Human Rights Defender office reps visit protesting freedom-fighters

19:15 – 13.05.13

Yeranuhi Tumanyants, Defender of Military Servicemen’s Rights at the
Armenian Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) office, and Andrey
Aghamalyan, Head of the rapid response group, visited on Monday
Colonel Volodya Avetisyan, a freedom-fighter who is staging a sit-down
protest in Freedom Square, as well as about 20 freedom-fighters that
joined him.

The freedom-fighters informed the human rights defenders of their
numerous problems – from housing to free medicines.

The experts advised the freedom-fighters to submit official
applications to the RA Ombudsman Office staff for a detailed study of
their situation. The freedom-fighters intend to submit individual
applications after submitting a joint application to Armenia’s
government.
