POLICE REPORTEDLY 'KIDNAP' ACTIVISTS IN YEREVAN
16:08 08.08.13
The Armenian activists and journalist Tehmina Yenokyan has voiced
alarm over what she claims to be an unjustified police measure to hold
four civic activists over plan to protest the Yerevan municipality's
decision to impose fees on automobile parking.
Yenokyan claims that the activists - Vahe Gevorgyan, Vahagn Minasyan,
Gor Arakelyan and Sevak Mamya - have been taken to a police station
without any legal justification.
"A protest against paid parking stations was to have taken place at
13:00 to show that citizens too, can treat streets as their property
if a private company does so. The police reacted to the participants
of the protest 15 minutes after the stops were closed," Sevak Mamyan,
one of the activists, had said in a phone conversation with Yenokyan.
He was also later reported to have been taken to the police.
A source at the Police public information department told Tert.am
that the four citizens are now facing administrative liabilities.
