On the morning of Friday, December 9, 2011, Nareg Hartounian, founder
of the Naregatsi Art Institute in Yerevan and Shushi was arrested on
trumped up charges of tax evasion. Within the course of a day, he was
indicted, tried and found guilty without proper due process.
Authorities in the Armenian government are attempting to extort Nareg
and his family of properties and money by the use of fear and unjust
incarceration. For anyone that knows Nareg personally or knows of the
incredibly selfless and important work he does in Armenia and Artsakh
supporting the arts, as well as children and the disabled, it is easy
to understand why this act by Armenian authorities is especially
despicable.
Please sign this petition and help us set Nareg free again to continue
his great work. We cannot afford to lose men and women like him. They
are the people who keep our country and our world moving forward. We
are also running petitions at the Naregatsi Art Institute. If you are
in Yerevan, please visit and show your support. Thank You!
