Today "Heritage" party MP Zaruhi Postanjian introduced in the Armenian
National Assembly a bill to repeal Article 301 of the Penal Code since,
in the opinion of many deputies, it violates the right of freedom of
speech of an individual.
The draft law holds that Article 301 is in clear violation of Article
27 of the Armenian Constitution and Article 10 of the Convention for
the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
It is worthwhile, mentioning that Zhirayr Sefilyan and Vardan
Malkhasyan are accused under that Article.
