Human Rights Report

ArmeniaNow.com picks up on the Human Rights Watch report on the situation in Armenia.

The respected global watchdog, Human Rights Watch, reiterated its strong criticism of President Robert Kocharyan's spring crackdown on his political opponents in an annual report on human rights practices around the world released on Thursday. It also accused the European Union of doing little to prevent human rights abuses in Armenia.

Human Rights Watch mentions Armenia in an article entitled "Beyond Ukraine, a Grim Picture".

Armenia is not along for coming under criticism. Azerbaijan's fraudulent presidential elections are mentioned, as well as fraud in the election in Belarus.
