“IT IS POINTLESS TO GO TO THE CINEMA WITHOUT FATHER”
Support A1+!Today a protest action was held by the political prisoners’ children in the “Nairi” Cinema. Each of them, holding their fathers’ photos in one hand, entered the cinema hall and occupied a seat at the front. The aim of the protesters was to show how much they missed their fathers and that they would like to go to the cinema with their fathers, whom they have not seen for long.
Each of the children had bought 2 tickets instead of one, 1 for themselves, the other for their fathers. There were also other children in the cinema hall. Accompanied by their parents they had come to enjoy the film.
As soon as the film began the children rose to their feet and extending the photos left the hall. “We wanted to show that it is pointless to go to the cinema without our fathers. The protest action was directed to the audience, to our state and authorities, as well as to the whole world,” Grigor Manukian, leader of the “Opposition of Political Prisoners’ Children” told “A1+”.
