Equal to impunity

26/01/2011

“All what is going to be said in the report is my concern for the fact that the conditions of the death of ten people have not been found out. The discovering of those cases shows that it is equal to impunity,” said PACE envoy on Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg to journalists following his four-day visit to Armenia. Concerning the events of March 1-2 2008 he also said that Armenia “should solve the issues of finding out the conditions of death of the ten people and plus the issue of the political prisoners”. However, when talking about oppositionists he did not use the term “political prisoner”. “There is no reference to it in the international legal acts on human rights,” Hammarberg said.
