    POLICE USED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN KOMITAS STREET CLASHES - OMBUDSMAN'S OFFICE

    11:34 ~U 01.10.13

    The Armenian Ombudsman's office has found the police operations
    in the recent protests in Yerevan Komitas street unlawful and
    disproportionate.

    In a statement it says that the police used excessive force in the
    clashes with the crowd protesting against the construction activities
    near the Komitas 5 building.

    "Taking into consideration the European Court's case law, we
    conclude that the police acted disproportionately during the clashes,
    demonstrating impatience and intolerance. Besides, having studied
    separate incidents, we find that the police violated the rights and
    freedom of individuals," says statement.
