    ARMENIA'S HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDER ISSUES STATEMENT

    Tert.am
    22.08.11

    The office of the Human Rights Defender of Armenia has issued a
    statement "On the misinformation disseminated on behalf of the Court
    of Appeal."

    The statement deals with the Human Rights Defender's recent application
    to Armenia's relevant agencies for holding three Armenian judges
    responsible for violations of law.

    According to the statement, the Court of Appeal or any of its
    chambers are not legally authorized to discuss the activities of
    the Human Rights Defender of Armenia. Therefore, the misinformation
    disseminated on behalf of the Court of Appeal of Armenia is the result
    of individuals' illegal activities.

    "The illegal appeal for 'further abstention from such kind of actions'
    addressed to the Human Rights Defender, a constitutional authority,
    may in future be viewed as attempts to exert pressure on the Human
    Rights Defender, or officials' attempts to impede his activities or
    as threats addressed to him. Such actions involve responsibility to
    the extent of criminal punishment," says the statement.
