    PEOPLE AGAIN PICKETING FOR RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRIONERS

    A1 Plus | 13:51:35 | 09-06-2004 | Politics |

    15 people assembled near Office of Prosecutor at the picket for the
    political prisoners demanding to release them.

    According to Gayane Esayan, Vice-Chair of "New Armenia" social
    organization, about 7300 people signed for release of political
    prisoners.

    Yesterday Office of Prosecutor replied to the application of "New
    Armenia", which demanded to substantiate why people are arrested for
    their political convictions and whether there is any way to change
    the preventive punishment.

    Mr. S. Manukyan, head of Department for Control over Legality on
    Investigation of Office of Prosecutor, wrote: "There are no reasons
    to change the preventive punishment against Tigran Ter-Margaryan and
    others. No person mentioned in your list is criminally persecuted for
    expressing his political rights and especially convictions. Those
    people are accused under concrete articles of the Criminal Code
    of Armenia".

    Vagharshak Harutyunyan, ex Defense Minister is among those persons.
