Petition for Davit Matevosian's release.
We demand that the government releases Davit Matevosyan, detained on the 1st of March, 2008 in Yerevan. He is incriminated in putting up resistance to the police. But in reality, Davit with others obeyed the command of the police officer and gave in, without any resistance. Anyway in the police station the eyewitness, a police officer, “testified” that the detainees resisted. The Court of First Instance at a closed session has decided to keep him in custody, until the rendition proceeding.
In reality he is arrested for actively supporting Levon Ter-Petrossian during the election campaign so he is a POLITICAL PRISONER!

During 2007 Davit Matevosyan was supporting the Impeachment bloc, and was a deputy candidate at the same bloc. On the 9th of May, 2007 during a peaceful race, near the building of National Security, he was beaten and harmed seriously by the police.
On 23rd of October 2007, during another peaceful race he was detained and kept at the police station for 9 hours. Before the last arrest on the 1st of March 2008, Davit Matevosyan took part in the protest since 20th of February till 1st of March. The demonstration was violently dispersed by the police under the pretext that peaceful protesters were armed and “dangerous”. All the leaders were arrested.
Now the emergency declared by president Qocharyan does not allow us to express our dissatisfaction with the political arrest of Davit Matevosyan, so we are asking you to help us free him, by joining this group.
PLEASE INVOLVE EVERYONE WHO IS AGAINST POLITICAL ARRESTS AND WISHES TO LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY.
