'I AM AGAINST' INITIATIVE RESPONDS TO PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE STATEMENT
Friday,April 11
"I am against' civil initiative has responded to the statement that
Office of Armenian Prosecutor General issued in connection with the
April 9 protest staged by members of the civil initiative.
"Don't try to use force and threats to restrict our rights to
assembly and freedom of expression, which are guaranteed not only
by the Constitution of Armenia, but also by well-known international
documents ratified by Armenia," the statement says.
The initiative members note that preventing citizens from holding a
peaceful assembly is a criminally punishable act.
"We are sure that there are many cases of flagrant violations in
the country that the Office of Prosecutor General should deal with -
such as the contents of officials' property declarations, amassment of
millions' worth of fortunes by ministers' wives, Armenia's gas debt
of $300 million, the misappropriation of Vorotan Hydropower Cascade
and Nairit Plant and so on.
In particular, we call upon the Office of Prosecutor General to
investigate the real purposes of illegal collection of funds under
the unconstitutional articles of the Law on Accumulative Pensions,
the flow of funds and to reveal the real 'beneficiaries', and also to
investigate the ineffective and inappropriate embezzlement of public
funds on the indicated law for ten years," the statement reads.
We would remind you that earlier today the Office of Armenian
Prosecutor General has issued a statement over the April 9 protest
staged by 'I am against' civil movement, due to which the traffic in
downtown Yerevan came to a standstill.
"Blocking a street and obstructing traffic involve criminal
and administrative responsibility. In case of repeated actions,
sanctions envisaged by the law will be imposed on organizers and
participants", the statement reads. According to it , the Armenian
law gives organizers and participants of rallies and protests enough
opportunities to exercise their right to assembly without a blatant
breach of peace and restriction of constitutional rights of other
citizens.
