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, is
already convicted and sentenced to one year in jail.
3. Those responsible for violence against people and human rights
violations have not been prosecuted.
4. Legislation on administrative offenders hasn't been amended.
