RA committee for the Protection of Political Prisoners organizes a
demonstration to say unanimous "No" to injustice and illegality on
Human Rights Day — December 10, at 1 P.M near Saryan monument.

On this occasion the Committee spread a statement that reads: "Despite
all challenges Armenia faces each day, human rights organizations,
numerous alerts by individuals and diffused public opinion, the gang
that seized the power does its utmost to hinder the country’s return
to democracy.

Today too our friends who fought for free and democratic Armenia
serve their time in prison. And we have to admit that our dreamed
independent Armenia because of our drift made it a jail where we
are deprived of a just trial, elect and be elected, free information
obtaining and spreading rights.

It’s evident that without a persistent struggle our relinquished
rights will not be restored, and we do not want our children to live
in a jail, so let’s fight now and always."

The protestors will demand immediate release of political prisoners
and punishment of March 1, 2008 organizers.
