“ROBBERY UNDER ASTONISHING TOLERANCE OF POLICE”
Support A1+!Why was there state of emergency declared in Armenia on March 1? “According to the official version it was inevitable as a result of violations and armed attack on the law-enforcement bodies, whereas the latter did not use their weapons”, declare members of the Armenian-French association of lawyers and continue: “Various data make you cast doubt on the authenticity of the facts.”
-The films show that the law-enforcements bodies used weapons and shot luminous bullets the use of which is still strictly regulated.
-Several victims were killed or injured on Leo Street, a hundred meters from the demonstration site, behind the police circle. Taking into consideration the location of the street you can hardly believe that a dozen people could have risen such a revolt that the authorities had to exert such a pressure on them.
-The bullet lodged some of the victims in the back; therefore one cannot believe that they were shot by snipers.
-Some of the victims were not pro-oppositionists and never took part in the rallies.
-Shop burglaries were committed on Mashtots Avenue, which is rather far from the demonstration site. Besides it all happened under astonishing tolerance on the side of the police.
The Armenian-French association of lawyers gave a report on February and March events in Yerevan. It also carried out an investigatory and observing mission on May 7-12.
