DO NOT MAKE WRONGDOERS MORE IMPUDENT!
Support A1+!Statement of the Yerevan Press Club and the Committee for Protection of Freedom of Speech
Hovhannes Galajyan, the editor-in-chief of “Iskakan Iravunk” newspaper, was assaulted and beaten with metal sticks on September 15, 2007.
The journalist got concussion of the brain and injuries on the head. This is the second time Galajyan has been attacked. The initiators of the previous attack on September 6, 2006, are still unexposed.
The YPC and the CPFS have stated many times that the assaults are resulted by malfunctioning of law-enforcement bodies as they are unable (or merely don’t want) to reveal and punish the wrongdoers.
We condemn the new terrorism and state that nondisclosure of the crimes makes people attempting to silence freedom of speech more impudent.
