    U.S. embassy in Yerevan demands punishment for people who beat up
    civil activists

    YEREVAN. Sept 13

    The U.S. Embassy in Armenia issued a statement in Yerevan on Thursday
    condemning the attacks on civil activists, including U.S. citizens,
    which began on August 22, and calling on the Armenian authorities to
    protect freedom of expression in the country.

    The statement says that two activists were beaten during the most
    recent attack, which took place on September 5. Activists are being
    followed and threatened, the document says.

    The U.S. embassy called on the Armenian government to condemn these
    attacks, conduct investigations, and punish the culprits.
