“Media Advocate” urges to refrain from actions against the media

Many citizens have been detained since the first minutes of the protest in Freedom Square. Among them one may find public and political figures. Mass arrests and clashes are reported. Journalists and cameramen work in tense and difficult conditions. Mihran Hakobyan, the owner of “Qaryak Media”, is among those detained.

“Media Advocate” initiative assesses this as pressure against the media as well as restriction of freedom of speech. We urge the police to refrain from actions against the media.
