HAK activists taken to police for distributing flyers in downtown Yerevan
The police started a series of illegal actions against representatives of the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK) ahead of the opposition's rally of March 1.
"On February 24, the participants of the previous rally "were invited" to police department in Aparan and Hrazdan," HAK said in a statement on Thursday.
"Another ten opposition activists were taken to the police department of Yerevan's Kentron district late on Thursday when distributing flyers about the upcoming opposition rally in downtown Yerevan. There were three girls among them.
On the one hand, the Armenian authorities are daunted by the upheaval in the Arab world. On the other hand, they are worried by menacing public unrest over the grave economic situation and ongoing increase in food prices.
The illegal orders of Serzh Sargsyan are desperate and vain endeavors to reduce the participants of the March 1 rally," reads the statement.
HAK calls on Armenian citizens to report on officials' illegal actions calling at +37499 33 31 20 or +37455 33 31 20.
