    SIX PRISONERS RELEASED DUE TO SIT-IN IN ARMENIAN CAPITAL - OPPOSITION

    Armenia

    Six "political prisoners" have been released in Armenia since the
    start of a sit-in in the capital Yerevan on 4 July, an opposition
    member told reporters on 31 July.

    Levon Zurabyan, who represents the opposition Popular Movement, was
    quoted by Arminfo news agency as saying that the ongoing protest was
    reflective of the public anger and also the people's determination
    to fight for their rights and freedoms.

    On the whole, police treat the protesters "normally" but they "become
    hysterical when the protesters do something that does not fit into
    their mentality", Zurabyan said, according to Arminfo. He suggested
    that police officers should receive political education and gradually
    change their mentality in order to comply with Armenian law.
