`TWO FEARS MAKE ONE DEATH’
[05:38 pm] 05 May, 2008

Today, the leader of the Nor Zhamanakner Party Aram
Karapetian released a statement from Yerevan-Kentron
Penitentiary institution.

`On May 5, RoA Appellate Court Justice M. Rehanian
declined my appeal against the decision of the
district court of Center and Nork Marash communities
to prolong my custody.

The regime is so scared that they even deny people’s
access to courtrooms. I wished to participate in the
court sitting and protect the rights of political
prisoners. Everything was done to keep me in custody.

Undoubtedly, there is no justice in Armenia. However,
if it is done upon the order of the so-called `strong
government’ which fears even the right word of the
political prisoner, I must say that we again defeated
them at this point.

I want to remind the regime of a famous Armenian
saying: `Gentlemen, two fears make one death.’ I wish
all of us boundless vigor and endless will to
struggle,’ runs the statement.
