5 advocates willing to provide legal assistance to protesters

Considering the public agenda set by the Tavush for the Homeland movement and taking into account the pattern of repressions by the ruling regime against people participating in peaceful demonstrations, we, five human rights activists, consider it necessary to organize the process of people’s legal protection in advance. Ruben Melikyan, a human rights activist, wrote this.

“We should ask the lawyers who can volunteer to provide legal aid to peaceful protesters on May 9 and the following days to contact any of us.
