Statement of NGO’s of Armenia

The authorities of Armenia relying on law enforcement bodies and
judicial system freely carry out any order and continue the policy
of intimidation and violence towards the disagreeable citizens.

Arrests, beatings and judicial punishment of journalists and human
rights defenders, disgraceful trials related to the events of March
1, 2008 over oppositional leaders of Armenia, arrests and beatings
of youth movement members struggling for their rights are sanctioned
by provost regime of Armenia.

The commencement of a criminal case instituted against Mariam
Sukhudyan, one of the leaders of ecological movement is another vivid
manifestation of policy of impatience towards the dissidence.

We, the undersigned non-governmental organizations of Armenia which
are members of South Caucasian Network of Human Rights Defenders

-demand the competent bodies to stop the criminal case instituted
against Mariam Sukhudyan, -demand the competent bodies to punish
the ones who instituted the criminal case -address the international
organizations with a request to support our demands and exert pressure
on the authorities of Armenia.
