Ara K. Manoogian, a U.S. based human rights activist, started a hunger
strike on March 17, 2013, in front of the Burbank, California District
Office of U.S. Representative Adam B. Schiff.
Manoogian has launched the hunger strike in the name of democracy
and the rule of law in Armenia.
The activist recently chided U.S. President Obama for congratulating
Serzh Sargsyan on his re-election as president of Armenia.
Manoogian writes: "I shall continue my hunger strike until U.S.
President Barack Obama retracts his congratulations, which legitimize
the official Armenian Presidential election results, skewed in favor of
the corrupt incumbent, Serzh Sargsyan, and ignoring popular sovereignty
as a cornerstone of democracy."

Be Told.
