    Friends of ecologist, activist and volunteer Mariam Sukhudyan, who
    is charged with false treachery, gathered in front of the building
    of the Ministry of Education and Science.

    "End to violence, assaults and tolerance in special schools",
    "Special Attention to special schools", "Education and not violence",
    "Mr. Ashotyan, your ministry shuts its eye on child abuse", "Sexual
    abuse is a crime"-these were the signs of the activists who were
    standing in front of the building with the desire to call the
    ministry's attention to special schools.

    As protester, ecologist and volunteer Hrair Savzyan said, they are
    concerned over the situation not only at the N11 school in Nubarashen,
    but all special schools.

    "All schools have bad food, bad treatment and poor sanitary condtions,"
    said the protester.

    Let us remind that in April-June 2008 Mariam Sukhudyan worked at the
    Nubarashen school, noticed the flaws, including a teacher's attempt
    of sexual abuse against a student. When she raised her voice, she
    was charged with a criminal case.

    The protesters were greeted by adviser to the minister Mher Ghazaryan
    and head of the Public Education Department Narine Hovhannisyan who
    promised that Armen Ashotyan would receive only some volunteers.

    The protesters had prepared letters for Serzh Sargsyan, RA Prime
    Minister Tigran Sargsyan, NA Chairman Hovik Abrahamyan, RA Prosecutor
    General Aghvan Hovsepyan and Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan.
