So far 6,700 signatures of Armenian citizens are collected by the
protest action participants outside the Prosecutor General Office
in Yerevan. The series of protests is staged by the republic’s
organizations. The protesters are demanding to release political
prisoners from jail.
The number of signatures could be greater but many refrain from signing
the paper with the demand as they fear of reprisals against them. Now
the protesters demand to release Vagharshak Harutyunyan and Lavretni
Kirakosyan from detention and to dismiss Suren Surenyants case.
It is known that other political prisoners were freed recently. The
picket participants are convinced their action played a crucial role
in that.
