The Armenian National Congress (HAK) and the Committee for the Protection of Political Prisoners are holding a march today on the occasion of Human Rights Day.

At present, the marchers are heading for Northern Avenue. They started from the Statue of Saryan and stopped near the Statue of Miasnikyan to commemorate the victims of March 1.
The Congress has issued a statement today which reads: "Human rights are being violated in all spheres. The working regime determined to hold the power at any cost continues unlawfulness keeping political prisoners as hostages and terrorizing dissidents."

According to the organizers the march was held to curb illegality, release political prisoners and stop injustice in Armenia.
