28 CONVICTS AND 1 POLICEMAN
Support A1+!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 Ionissian, “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.
