On the eve of an opposition’s rally of March 1 over 44 political
prisoners issued a statement which runs;

After a crackdown on the opposition’s rally of last March, the
criminal regime staged a coup and spared no effort to break down and
crush public determination and will to struggle for their fundamental
rights. But all their efforts failed. On the eve of the March 1 rally
the authorities apply the same methods to bar your participation in
the rally.

Dear compatriots! Do not fear or pay attention to the illegal menaces
of the regime as they do not have any right to ban the rally. The
right to assemblies is set down in the Armenian Constitution. Instead
of intervening with the rally the authorities had better create
favourable conditions for it.

Hence, we appeal to everyone to take part in the rally with a winner’s
resolution in order to

â~@¢ end the "cause" our friends sacrificed for,

â~@¢ disclose and punish the perpetrators of the March 1 bloodshed,

â~@¢ release the political prisoners,

resist tax and economic pressure exerted by the regime.

We call on everyone to meet the first day of spring near the
Matenadaran, at 3.00 March 1.
