Civilitas: Law enforcers show 'excessive interest'
Statement of the Civilitas Foundation
Law enforcement authorities in Armenia have begun to earnestly "protect" the interests of Civilitas and its staff. In recent days, certain individuals have followed our staff members with an ‘excessive interest and concern,' when they are collecting signatures against political persecution in the street. Those individuals do not even hesitate to follow our staff members all the way to their homes.
Such actions are unacceptable for us. They do not correspond with the responsibilities of any government agency. These methods will be ineffective as were the gossips published in some media and pressures of the tax inspections aimed at weakening the resolve of our staff.
Our work has always been and continues to be maximally transparent and public and it would better if law enforcement and security agencies were concerned with the real issues concerning state security.
