RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan severely condemns the recurrent
infringement against media representatives.
The statement spread by Press and PR Department of the Human Right
Defender’ s Office notes that the attacks against the journalists badly
harms the reputation of the country and jeopardizes the full guarantee
of the freedom of speech and accessibility of information. Yesterday’s
assault against editor of " Iravunk" newspaper Hovhannes Galachian
was the recurrent action against freedom of press.
The Ombudsman calls on law-enforcement bodies to be most consistent
and anticipates that corresponding bodies will disclose any step aimed
at disturbing the journalists’ activity and the guilty will punished
with the whole strength of law.
