APPEAL TO PRESIDENT AND DEFENSE MINISTER

Politics

“Presently numerous servicemen are kept in the jail of the RA Military Police and the Defense Ministry. Their security and control over them are impeachable,” says the address of lawyers, human rights activists and NGOs to President Kocharian and Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan.

The appeal authors consider that parallel with the reformation of the legislation we still meet some facts featuring totalitarian state structures. “One of the above mentioned structures is the jail of the RA Military Police. By order of the RA Military Prosecutor people who are sentenced to imprisonment are still kept there. Keeping of people in the cell violated a number of RA laws. We appeal to pay attention to this reality and put an end to illegal and criminal activities,” the statement says.
