 <\/p>\n

Sehr geehrter Herr Bundesminister Kurz,<\/p>\n

ich schreibe Ihnen mit der Bitte, sich f\u00fcr die Freilassung von Herrn Garegin Chugaszyan in Armenien einzusetzen.<\/p>\n

Herr Chugaszyan ist der Armenische Partner der \u00f6sterreichischen UN Initiative World Summit Award und geh\u00f6rt seit 2003 zu dem Netzwerk, das in 178 UN Mitgliedstaaten die besten interaktiven Inhalte f\u00fcr eine qualit\u00e4tsvolle Nutzung der IKT in offenen Wettbewerben eruiert und f\u00fcr die Entwicklung einer inklusiven Wissensgesellschaft promotet und pr\u00e4miert.<\/p>\n

Herr Chugaszyan hat sich f\u00fcr die Partizipation von B\u00fcrgerInnen f\u00fcr ein freies und demokratisches Armenien engagiert und ist uns als aufrechter B\u00fcrger, der f\u00fcr Gewaltlosigkeit eintritt bestens bekannt.<\/p>\n

Wie aus dem beiliegenden Fact Sheet ersichtlich, wurde er und einige seiner Freunde unter dem Vorwand einer St\u00f6rung der politischen Ordnung am 7. April verhaftet und wird seit damals in unzumutbaren Haftbedingen gefangen gehalten.<\/p>\n

Der heutige Tag der 100 Jahre Erinnerung an den Armenischen Genozid und das Leiden der \u00dcberlebenden des armenischen Volkes sollte dazu dienen, dass die gegenw\u00e4rtige Regierung ihre politischen Gegner frei l\u00e4sst und einen Dialog mit allen der Gewaltlosigkeit verpflichteten Kr\u00e4ften des Landes sucht.<\/p>\n

Ich ersuche Sie, bei Ihrem politischen Gegen\u00fcber in Armenien entsprechend sich f\u00fcr die Freilassung von politischen Gefangenen und vor allem auch von Herrn Garegin Chugaszyan einzusetzen.<\/p>\n

Ich danke Ihnen f\u00fcr Ihr Engagement,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Kostanyan,<\/p>\n

Please accept my regards on behalf of Human Rights Watch. We are writing to you to voice our concern about the charges against and pre-trial detention of members of the Founding Parliament political movement and to call on your office to take action.<\/p>\n

As you may know, Human Rights Watch is an international, impartial, nongovernmental organization that advocates respect for human rights worldwide. We have worked on human rights issues in Armenia and engaged in regular dialogue with the Armenian government for over two decades.<\/p>\n

On April 7, police in Yerevan arrested five members of Founding Parliament: its chairman, Garegin Chukaszyan, founding member Jirair Sefilyan, as well as Varuzhan Avetisyan, Pavel Manukyan, and Gevorg Safaryan. Police searched the men\u2019s homes and Founding Parliament\u2019s office, and seized wooden bats, kitchen knives, a stun gun, and a publicly available Founding Parliament pamphlet published last year. The police also seized flags of Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Founding Parliament.<\/p>\n

On April 9 the Special Investigation Service charged all five men with planning a mass disturbance (art. 225 part 1 of the Criminal Code) and preparation of a crime (Art. 35). Lawyers for the men told Human Rights Watch that the charges stem from Founding Parliament\u2019s plans to hold a rally in Yerevan on April 24, the day of commemoration of the 100-year anniversary of the Armenian genocide. The group had applied for permission to hold the rally, which the Yerevan authorities approved near the Erebuni Library. Founding Parliament advertised a rally that would not interfere with events commemorating the anniversary of the genocide. According to the men\u2019s lawyers, the charges are also based on the Founding Parliament\u2019s booklet, which describes the group\u2019s aim of a change in government of Armenia through peaceful means, including civil disobedience.<\/p>\n

On April 10, the Kentron Nork-Marash district court in Yerevan approved the investigation\u2019s request for remand detention and sent all five men to pretrial custody. Following the court\u2019s ruling, authorities transferred Sefilyan, Avetisyan, and Manukyan to the Vardashen prison, and Chukaszyan and Safaryan to the Nubarashen prison where they are in custody with the general prison population. Their lawyers have expressed concern about over crowding in some of the cells.<\/p>\n

After his April 7 arrest, Pavel Manukyan declared a hunger strike that lasted several days and <\/a>ended some time before April 13. One of Safaryan\u2019s lawyers reported that he declared a hunger strike on approximately April 20, possibly in response to mistreatment by cellmates. At the time he was in a cell with 17 people and only nine beds. After Safaryan declared a hunger strike, a doctor examined him to assess his general health and he was moved to a cell with other people on hunger strikes. As of April 27 he had not received further visits from any medical personnel.<\/p>\n

Human Rights Watch is concerned that the Founding Parliament members are being targeted for their peaceful political beliefs and that the charges are intended to interfere with their right to freedom of thought, expression, and assembly as protected by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Armenia is a party. Article 225 of Armenia\u2019s Criminal Code, under which the men are charged, prohibits \u201corganizing mass disorder accompanied with violence, pogroms, arson, destruction or damage to property, using fire-arms, explosives or explosive devices, or by armed resistance to the representative of the authorities.\u201d Founding Parliament\u2019s booklet and advertisement for the rally call for civil disobedience and peaceful political change.<\/p>\n

Further, pre-trial detention should be considered a last resort. Article 9(3) of the ICCPR states that, \u201cIt shall not be the general rule that persons awaiting trial shall be detained in custody.\u201d The United Nations Human Rights Committee, which provides authoritative interpretation of the covenant, has determined that bail should be granted except in cases in which there is a likelihood that the accused would abscond, destroy evidence, or influence witnesses. Given Founding Parliament\u2019s nonviolent views and in the absence of a lawful and credible basis for detention, we believe that the men should be freed, pending investigation.<\/p>\n

We are also concerned that the men, who are currently under investigation, are in custody with convicted criminals in violation of international standards on pre-trial detention. ICCPR article 10(2)(a) mandates that accused persons shall be segregated from convicted persons and accorded treatment appropriate for their status as non-convicted persons. According to their lawyers, the prison authorities have not allowed the men to receive visits from family members, which are permitted during pre-trial detention at the discretion of the prison authorities. Such discretion should not be used to withhold privileges to punish the men for their political beliefs or affiliations.<\/p>\n

In light of these concerns, we call upon your office to:<\/p>\n
