STATEMENT BY THE COMMITTEE IN DEFENSE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS AND THE PERSECUTED OF ARMENIA DEMANDING HATSPANYAN'S RELEASE
AZG DAILY
01-06-2011
"Political prisoner Sargis Hatspanyan, who was sentenced to prison
for his political activities, is still in prison. He was supposed to
be released by the amnesty declared in 2009. However, the Armenian
authorities refused to release him by giving false reasons, ignoring
the amnesty that they had declared and showing their overt caprice. It
was clear that the authorities were guided by revenge, not the law.
They didn't meet the demands and refused to release him conditionally.
The recent amnesty also refers to Sargis Hatspanyan. However, the
government's sources say Hatspanyan will remain in prison until the
end of his term. This time, the Armenian authorities are giving false
reasons and showing that they ignore the law once again. They are
also showing that the motive behind their actions against Hatspanyan
is revenge.
The Committee in Defense of Political Prisoners and the Persecuted
expresses its support to Hatspanyan, condemns any manifestation of
revenge and demands that the existing authorities immediately release
Hatspanyan by respecting the amnesty that they have declared."
