    "Concerned about attacks vs Arshamyan, Saghatelyan & other activists
    in Armenia. Effective investigation & accountability must be ensured",
    Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Nils Muiznieks says in
    a tweet.

    On September 5 Haykak Arshamyan, Project Coordinator at the Yerevan
    Press Club, and Souren Saghatelyan, member of the Council of the
    Transparency International Anti-Corruption Center, were hospitalized
    with severe injuries. Both were taking part in the actions of protest
    against Armenia's decision to join the Customs Union.

    Meanwhile, the Armenian police are trying to refute the statements
    about their passivity. According to the recent media reports, the
    civil activists in Armenia undergo violence and the police are blamed
    for passivity. The police consider such statements to be groundless.
