ALTHOUGH HOPELESS THEY SET THEIR DEMANDS

Politics

The Prosecutor General had unexpected “guests” today. As usual the wives of the political prisoners gathered here to inquire about their spouses. They gave a letter to the Prosecutor General with a demand to release the political prisoners although they are convinced that their calls will be left unaddressed.

We know no other way of struggle but strikes and protest actions. You cannot imagine the unlawfulness reigning in our courts. The hearing of my husband's case was adjourned simply because the defender was late for 10 minutes,” said Vardges Gaspar's wife Anahit Ayvazi.

Samvel Karapetian's wife says her husband was sentenced to three years’ of imprisonment only for restoring 600 ballot papers cast in favour of Levon Ter-Petrossian.

“Our country is on the verge of collapse. Our national heroes are jailed. I am here in the name of all mothers. We shall not find rest unless the last man is set free,” said 67-year-old Khanum whose son was justified and released from the courtroom.

The protesters were accompanied by ordinary people and random passers-by who voiced concern over the country’s interior life.

Note, the wives of the political prisoners have been gathering in front of the Prosecutor’s Office every Friday since April 7.
