SDHK: “Vacate Liberty Square”
Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (SDHK) has issued a statement accusing Armenian authorities of permissiveness and denouncing police actions.
The terror applied by the authorities against the Armenian people for the last 2.5 years is displayed by new methods.
"The ruling oligarchic clan, discontent with March 1 bloody events, political terror and illegal arrests of opposition figures, longs for new bloodshed.
The authorities, lacking political wisdom and unable to deal with foreign challenges, having the foreboding of their imminent collapse, are forcing the police to more cruel actions, and deepening the gap between the society and law enforcement bodies instead of starting a dialogue with the opposition and alleviating the domestic tension.
The illegal actions of the police accompanied by brute violence, beatings and ungrounded mass arrests, further disgrace the country's infamous police system making it fully dependent on authorities' whims.
Banning oppositionists' entry to the newly re-opened Liberty Square, preventing opposition protests and unlawfully arresting opposition representatives and journalists the police show that they fulfill the authorities' whimsical desire.
The SDHP demands that the authorities
1. immediately release all political prisoners,
2. stop the terror and permissiveness of the police,
3. liberate the Square from the unnecessary presence of the "law enforcement bodies."
