AUTHORITIES KEEP ON IGNORING PACE RESOLUTION

Politics

Justice, a 16-party opposition alliance, issued a statement on Tuesday, pointing out the authorities’ steps taken in a clear breach of the PACE 1374 resolution.

1. The authorities didn’t abandon their practice of arresting people as so called administrative punishment.

2. Those arrested for participation in unauthorized rallies haven’t been released immediately. 14 citizens have been taken in police custody for political reasons. One of them, Martin Ghazaryan, are already convicted and sentenced to one year in jail.

3. Those responsible for violence against people and human rights violation have not been prosecuted.

4. Legislation on administrative offenders hasn’t been amended.
