The authorities continue political repression and imprisonment of prominent and influential opponents.
Among the many previous cases, the illegal imprisonment of Avetik Chalabyan, the criminal case against Narek Karapetyan and the ordered prosecution against Liparit Drmeyan are among the most recent episodes. Well, the staged arrest of Gagik Tsarukyan crossed not only legal and political, but also additional moral boundaries.
Pashinyan consistently destroys the political and public sphere and silences opposition voices, daily rolling Armenia into the abyss of authoritarianism, contrary to his “democratic vows”.
All political persecution must stop, and public pressure is essential for this.
Former Minister of State of Artsakh Artak Beglaryan
