    Yerevan

    A statement by the Centre for Pan-National Movement.

    "Since yesterday [31 July] the Centre for Pan-National Movement
    has been receiving many signals from the districts of the country
    that movement of transport means to Yerevan has been limited under
    a certain instruction. In some places, bus stations have been simply
    closed down. Taxi services have received the same order.

    Public transport in Yerevan will stop operating from 1500 [1000
    gmt]. In fact, every time when the Pan-National Movement stages a
    rally, the authorities resort to the same illegal actions.

    This is a violation of the Constitution and human rights, in
    particular, the right to free movement, the right to information and
    dissemination, freedom of assembly. Initiators and authors of this
    [violation] commit crime. Such criminal acts indicate that authorities
    realize that people do not support them. They [authorities] are
    so feared of the national protests that they resort to any illegal
    actions in order to reduce the number of persons in the rallies".
