Earlier today Armenia's Prosecutor's General Office released a
statement-warning to the members of Dem em! [I am Against!] initiative
over closing roads, describing it as violation of law in case of
repetition of which the participants of such-like actions will be
punished.
"Confronting pressure and anarchy is the right of people. Civil
disobedience is a contemporary and purposeful way of confrontation.
Civil disobedience is a peaceful way of expressing complaint over
the policy carried out by authorities by conducting rallies, blocking
roads, spreading leaflets, conducting strikes, refusing to cooperate
with authorities," the statement of the initiative states citing
the Constitution.
"Don't you try to restrict our right to express freely as well as
conduct peaceful gathering which are guaranteed not only by Armenia's
Constitution but international documents ratified by the Republic
of Armenia. Besides, we would like to remind that impeding peaceful
rallies is a criminal deed," the statement runs.
The initiative also called on the Prosecutor General's office to
better deal with examination of the property of officials, reveal
the sources of millions possessed by wives of ministers, etc.
"We also call on the Prosecutor General's office to study the main
goals of illegal money gathering trough Pension Funds unconstitutional
laws and reveal the real 'beneficiaries'," the statement runs.
