  • In 2005 Citizens Mostly Protested Against Activity of Police, Courts

    IN 2005 CITIZENS MOST OF ALL PROTEST AGAINST ACTIVITY OF POLICE,
    SOCIAL SECURITY BODIES AND COURTS


    YEREVAN, APRIL 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The report about the RA Ombudsperson's
    activity during 2005 and violations of the human rights and fundamental
    freedoms was discussed at the April 13 sitting of the RA National
    Assembly. It was taken into consideration. Armen Haroutiunian,
    presenting the speech, who undertook the Ombudsperson's post in this
    February, considered purposeful to present his predecessor's, Larisa
    Alaverdian's activity based on the existing statistical data. He
    promised to present his own conclusions about violations of the human
    rights and fundamental freedoms in the country during discussion of
    the 2006 annual report. According to the report, during 2005 the
    Ombudsperson got 1551 written appeals, more than 34% (533 complaints)
    of what was accepted for discussion. A.Haroutiunian considered it to
    be a positive index as in European countries this index falters within
    borders of 20-25%. Citizens mostly protest against the police, social
    insurance bodies, courts and the Yerevan Mayor's Office. As for the
    marzes, complaints got from Yerevan (978) outbalance. 191 complaints
    addressed against the police relate to legality of arresting people,
    keeping them arrested, search, and other actions of that character.
    The most part of complaints relates to violation of citizens' rights
    during compulsory sale of their property in the city of Yerevan. The
    RA Ombudspreson's claim on that occasion is at present discussed at
    the Constitutional Court.
