Russian advocates voiced concern over the recent assault on a leading human rights defender, the chairman of the Armenian Helsinki Association Mikael Danielian.
"We are confident that the leadership of any country must secure conditions for normal and safe activities of human rights advocates, political activists and organisations. Authorities must guarantee their security from any sudden assault and threat," holds the statement signed by 32 Russian advocates. /See the Russian version/
Russian advocates urge the Armenian leadership to take drastic measures and launch an independent investigation to uncover the wrongdoer.
"As part of their investigation into yesterday's assault of a leading human rights defender, the Armenian authorities should investigate the extent to which the victim's human rights work was a motive for the attack," Human Rights Watch said today.
Reminder: as a result of a May 21 incident on Terian-Moskovioan streets the leader of the Armenian Progressive Party Tigran Urikhanian shot at the chairman of the Armenian Helsinki Association Mikael Danielian from a pneumatic gun.
