HAK continues Friday protests
Vladimir Karapetyan, a senior member of the opposition Armenian National Congress (HAK), knows for sure why the Court of Appeal remitted the complaint of the jailed opposition activists.
"Human Rights Watch has appealed to the Court pointing out the violations recorded during the legal procedures and urging the Court to mete out justice in Armenia," said Mr Karapetyan.
The international human rights watchdog also made a number of proposals to the Court, saying the failure to implement these recommendations will be viewed as violation of commitments by Armenia.
The partisans of Friday protests continue to demand the immediate release of HAK activists Tigran Arakelyan, Artak Karapetyan, Sargis Gevorgyan and David Kiramijyan, who were arrested after an August 9, 2011, standoff with police officers in a Yerevan park and sentenced to 2-6 years in prison.
