"The legislative proposal which imposes a penalty to those who
deny the Armenian genocide is violating the freedom of speech. The
legislative proposal is against the 10th article of the European
Court of Human Rights."
Amnesty International has announced that the legislative proposal which
was approved in France last week is "seriously violating the freedom
of speech." In a statement published by the Amnesty International
it was stated that the organization fears of approval of the bill
in the French Parliament. The statement asked Jacques Chirac to
preclude the proposal to become a law. The statement also indicates
that the proposal violates the 10th article of the European Court of
Human Rights.
