    THOMAS HAMMARBERG TO VISIT ARMENIA TO ASSESS PROGRESS IN INQUIRY OF POST-ELECTORAL DEVELOPMENTS

    ARMENPRESS
    JULY 11

    Council of Europe Human Rights Commissioner Thomas Hammarberg will
    pay a three-day visit to Yerevan to assess the progress of the inquiry
    of the post-electoral developments.

    Public officer of the Human Rights Commissioner Stefano Montanari
    told Armenpress that during the visit Hammarberg will meet with the
    Armenian President Serzh Sargsian, members of parliament, governmental
    officials, chief prosecutor and members of the parliamentary ad hoc
    commission set up to investigate March 1 events.

    He will also meet with the arrested people and their lawyers, human
    rights defender, as well as representatives of international and
    non-governmental organizations. Together with two members of his office
    and international expert Yohan Hirschfeldadt he will visit jails.

    "This visit is a part of dialogue with the Armenian authorities,"
    the commissioner said. "In my last report on Armenia I called on
    conducting a comprehensive inquiry on March 1 events. The aim of this
    visit is to assess the progress and get a clear information over the
    number of the arrested people and their legal status," Hammarberg said.
