YEREVAN, JANUARY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. Hundreds of members of the Armenian
National Congress and opposition activists during the whole process
of the January 13 court sitting on the "case of the seven" held an
action of protest near the building of Shengavit community’s general
jurisdiction court. Holding placards "Freedom to the wonderful seven!,"
"The Best guys are in prison!" the people demanded releasing them. More
than 10 police cars, more than twenty policemen and police forces in
red berets were near the court building.
A little conflict between law enforcers and demonstrants took place
during the action: the police demanded not holding placards, but
those gathered continued pushing forward the placards with whistles
and voicings. After the end of the court sitting the crowd saw off
the defendants led out from the building back entrance by voicing
"Struggle, Struggle Till the End!."
