On Sunday, July 13, The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg is arriving on a three-day visit to Yerevan in order to assess the progress in the investigation of the March 1 events and the arrests, which followed after.
"This visit is part of the ongoing dialogue with the Armenian authorities, and follows the visits paid last October and March" said the Commissioner. "In my last report on Armenia, I advocated a comprehensive investigation into the 1 March events. The aim of this visit is therefore to take stock of the progress made towards this end and gather accurate information on the number of detainees and their judicial status" continued Commissioner Hammarberg. "I have also taken note of the recent Resolution adopted by the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly on the functioning of democratic institutions in Armenia. In this context, I intend to provide an international contribution towards the improvement of the human rights situation in the country."
During his visit, the Commissioner is to meet with a number of high ranking officials from the Armenian Government, including the President Serge Sarkisian, the Prime Minister, the Prosecutor General, as well as Parliament representatives and members of the ad hoc Parliamentary inquiry committee. Commissioner Hammarberg will also hold further meetings with detainees and their lawyers, the Human Rights Defender, as well as representatives of international organisations and civic society.
