The No Silence youth action group has launched a new series of video
interviews under the general heading of "No silence: at what cost?"
"Twenty-nine claims have been filed against newspapers since amendments
decriminalizing libel were enforced in Armenia. To 'protect' their
honor, the rich folk demand 'compensations' totaling millions from
journalists. The result is that newspapers with a small circulation
face bankruptcy.
"Next Monday and Wednesday, the No Silence action group, citing the
examples of four newspapers, will inform the public of the disgraceful
situation the Armenian press has found itself in.
"The claims lodged against freedom of speech are evidence of a clear
policy of reprisals against it," the group's statement says.
