STATEMENT OF YEREVAN PRESS CLUB, JOURNALISTS UNION OF ARMENIA, INTERNEWS ARMENIA, COMMITTEE TO PROTECT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, HELSINKI COMMITTEE OF ARMENIA, CENTER OF LAW AND FREEDOM
In the morning of September 6 our colleague, the Editor of “Iravunk” newspaper Hovhannes Galajian, was attacked and beaten.
During the past months the cases of threats and violence against journalists and media have become more frequent, yet those guilty have either not been found or have not been punished. Yerevan Press Club, Journalists Union of Armenia, Internews Armenia, Committee to Protect Freedom of Expression, Helsinki Committee of Armenia, Center of Law and Freedom have repeatedly announced that the unpunished violations of freedom of speech and press generate new crimes: people, incapable of civilized dialogue, choose the way of intimidating journalists and media.
In our country it seems to become a sad tradition of striking the media at the times of political tension. Such attitude towards media, intensifying in the view of upcoming parliamentary elections, endangers the possibility to ensure transparent elective process.
We condemn this yet another act of violence against the journalist, and we demand that the law enforcement bodies find and punish the implementers and orderers of this perpetration.
