Artificial obstacles posed on the way to ECTR
May 6 is the last day for Armenia to lodge a complaint with the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights in connection with the tragic events of March 1, 2008.
However, to complete the complaint, human rights activist Artak Zeynalyan needs a few more documents which turn out to be difficult to acquire.
"Among them are forensic medical examinations of corpses illustrated by color photographs, electronic bearers of court recordings," said the human rights activist.
Zeynalyan has not received electronic bearers though he was promised to get them within five days. Mmoreover, the representative of the court of general jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts does not answer Zeynalyan's telephone calls. The forensic center also refused to provide the required documents to Zeynalyan.
The human rights activist says the authorities unsuccessfully attempt to prevent them from filing a lawsuit with the European Court. However, the complaint will be filed to the ECTR before the fixed deadline [May 6] despite all attempts to linger the process.
