There have been various attempts at terror, persecution, and pressure
on the Dem Em ("I am against") initiative protesting the mandatory
component of the new pension system. In astatement issued today
[AM], the pressure group notes that it wants to draw "the attention
of law enforcement agencies, local and international human rights
organizations, civil society organizations and the entire public"
to this reality.
"We declare that any attempt to intimidate any member of the Dem Em
initiative, unknown or unwelcome individuals visiting their apartments
or unduly attempting to get information about them from neighbors and
acquaintances, persecution by alleged members of this or that security
or police personnel with a car or otherwise in civilian clothing, the
use of 'neighborhood criminals' or bullies and hooligan resources,
any physical threat, psychological pressure by phone, letters or
any other way, will be perceived as an infringement on the Dem Em
initiative and the entire supporting public.
"Even in the case of the slightest attempt at harassment or
intimidation, the intimidator individual or group will receive a
tantamount counterstrike, if no action is taken by the Republic of
Armenia's law enforcement bodies to suppress these attempts, identify
the perpetrators, and hold them accountable," reads the statement.
