Fundamental human rights continue to be infringed at penitentiaries of
the RoA Justice Ministry. In particular, provocations against political
prisoners are incited regularly. We urge Minister of Justice Gevorg
Danielian to honour human rights at penitentiaries. We are going to
pursue any provocation that will be perpetrated by different criminal
marionettes.

Minister Gevorg Danielian is responsible for breach of laws and
violation of human rights at penitentiaries.

Evidence to this is the recently revealed footage which exposes the
atmosphere and morals at penitentiaries. We, the undersigned, demand
that Minister Gevorg Danielan take immediate action to restore law
and order at penitentiaries which are within his jurisdiction.
