A rally followed by a march in defense of Shant Harutyunyan and
other political prisoners is set to take place on Jan. 10 at 1 pm
from Liberty Square, according to an initiative on Facebook which has
garnered the support of Karabakh War veterans and various other groups.
The Facebook initiative recalls that Shant Harutyunyan, who was
arrested on Nov. 5, 2013, has been on a hunger strike since Dec. 24,
and that Vahe Lazarian and Liparit Petrosyan joined him two days
later.
"Their health and lives are in danger; let's take to the streets
together and demand an end to all the unlawfulness," reads the notice
on the page.
War veteran Susanna Margaryan, in conversation with Epress.am, said
the protest also applies to other prisoners, especially Colonel
Volodya Avetisyan.
"The demands are the same: freedom to political prisoners and an end
to the regime that turns innocent people into criminals. We are all
gathering for one purpose," she said.
