a Fair Trial and Independence of the Judiciary, to be held in Yerevan,

president Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Chairman of the People's Party of
Armenia Stepan Demirchyan, Chairman of the Republic Party Aram
Sargsyan, as well as the leaders of the smaller parties forming the
ANC are standing on the platform.
Addressing the attendees, head of Armenian National Movement (ANM)
Aram Manukyan stated today's action is supposed to show the inferiority
of Armenian judicial system, depending on authorities and carrying

emerged during the domestic political crisis in February 2008, when
the judicial system became a tool of political repressions.
Manukyan said 4 ANC young activists are still in the police
department. They were brought to police during ANC picket in Yerevan.
He called on the authorities to release the activists till the end
