    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Several hours after the lift of the state of
    emergency, hundreds of Yerevan citizens with candles, black ribbons
    and portraits of those arrested and killed on March 1 and 2 took the
    streets toward Liberty Square. Their march was stopped by policemen
    armed with batons and shields, who surrounded the Square.

    Presently, the number of demonstrators doesn't exceed a thousand,
    mostly women and youth.

    Silent protest march is expected to extend from Liberty Square up
    to the monument to Alexander Myasnikyan at the French Embassy. The
    demonstrators are instructed not to block the traffic, walk at 1-meter
    distance and have a photo of a political prisoner and candles. They
    were also told to tape the mouth to protest limitations on media
    freedom.

    The action initiators called not to yield to provocation and refrain
    from offending policemen and journalists, Armenia Today reports.
