Police Beat Protesters or: The Face of Freedom


Click for larger version.

This is what happens in Armenia when you attempt to promote democracy: you get beat.
Today, after the rally organized by the Impeachment bloc, Republic and New Times parties, the special police forces beat participants of the rally and march to KGB.
Armenians, like all people, are struggling to express themselves freely without the threat of being beat or killed for doing so: It is fundamental human right and one that cannot be denied by anyone. People like Mher, pictured above, take personal blows to fight for what is right!

Video: Protest in Yerevan



Here's what you're watching:
Impeachment alliance organized yet another rally at the Freedom Square. After political speeches, people started a rally in Baghramyan Street.

Plastic bottles in their hands symbolized the events happened 3 years ago when after the clash with the opposition in Baghramyan Street Edgar Arakelyan was convicted for hitting a policeman with a plastic bottle.
This takes me back to the early 1990s. Democracy is being made in front of our eyes!
