YEREVAN. – Opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) activists Areg Gevorgyan, Vahagn Gevorgyan and Sahak Muradyan, whose criminal cases were closed, released a statement.

“Our friends Tigran Arakelyan, Davit Kiramijyan, Sargis Gevorgyan following the Aug. 9, 2011 events were sentenced for 2 to 6 years of imprisonment, while criminal cases instigated against us - Areg Gevorgyan, Vahagn Gevorgyan and Sahak Muradyan - were closed due to lack of proofs. Those verdicts are usual political persecutions, which have nothing to do with justice, law or logic. We again claim to be decisive and, despite the risk of appearing in jail, struggle for our friends’ freedom and failing the regime, which implements political persecutions,” the statement reads.
