HUNGER-STRIKE OPPOSITE THE CONSITUTIONAL COURT
[08:03 pm] 19 January, 2007
Citizen of Armenia Mher Lazarian went on a hunger-strike on December
28. Alongside with this, he holds a protest action opposite the
Constitutional Court for several hours a day. `I applied to the
Ombudsman office on December 27 with a letter informing that our right
of freedom of speech given by the 27th article of the Constitution was
violated’, he said.
Lazarian demands the RA Ombudsman to set free Jirayr Sefilyan and
Vardan Malkhasyan as their imprisonment contradicts the
Constitution. `My aim is to make all the people, regardless of their
position, stop for a while and think before taking illegal steps’.
Mher Lazarian claimed that he does not even have the honor of being
acquainted with Jirayr Sefilyan. «I would not like to draw political
conclusions from this. I have used my Constitutional right and I’m
calling on all of you to do the same».
By the way, Mher Lazarian did not wish to make public his address and
his place of work. He even said he does not live in his house in order
not to trouble his relatives.
