15-year-old activist takes to street (video)

The recent attacks on Karabakh war veterans made Shashen Harutyunyan,
the underage son of the jailed activist Shant Harutyunyan, take to the
street.
Today he was staging a protest at Liberty Square all alone.
"Our authorities are profaning everything around them. Now they are
sending masked people to beat freedom fighters," says the 15-year-old
fellow.
Shahen believes that citizens cannot exercise their rights unless they
pose their clear demands. "They have not yet disclosed the ten murders
of March 2008. Do they expect them to disclose the beating of public
figures? The person capable of killing will be capable of beating,
burning and smashing.
Shahen is determined to fight for his rights and freedoms. "Why
should we stay slaves to this gang rule?" he asks.
In October, a court in Yerevan sentenced Shant HJrutyunyan, Chairman
of the radical opposition Tseghakron party, to six years in prison
under Article 258 (Section 4) of the RA Criminal Code (hooliganism
committed with a weapon or another item used as a weapon).
Harutyunyan's 15-year-old son, Shahen, received a suspended 4-year
sentence.
