YE REVAN, JANUARY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. After the end of the January 16 court
sitting on "the case of the seven", those who had staged a protest at
the building of the Shengavit general jurisdiction court decided to
organize a march to the RA prosecutor general's office and continue
their protest there. Dozens of policemen and "red berets" tried to
prevent the demonstartors from doing so: they divided the crowd into
two parts and started to disperse the demonstrators by pushing them in
different diections. As a result of almost one-hour jostling, a woman
fainted, and another suffered a face injury. The negotiations between
the coordinator of the Armenian National Congress Levon Zurabian and
police representatives gave no result: the law enforcers insisted on
the protesters' leaving and not organizing a march.
Nevertheless, many of the demonstrators reached by public transport the
area adjacent to the prosecutor general's office and continued their
protest action there, chanting "Free, Independent Armenia", "Freedom"
and "Struggle, Struggle Till the End". On their way to the prosecutor's
office, the busus with protesters were being followed by police cars.
