February 21,2006 00:00

Finally the RA
parliament elected the RA new Defender of Human Rights. Armen Harouiunian came
to succeed the RA first and former ombudsman Larissa Alaverdian.To the
question whether he will declare the first ombudsman’s report "On the 2005
annual report about the activities of the first defender of human rights and infringements
of human rights and basic freedoms in Armenia" Armen Haroutiunian answered;
"I’ll be introduced, then I’ll see".We should also be introduced
to the final version of that report in short which the RA first ombudsman has
given to us. Concrete facts on infringements of human rights and basic freedoms
by RA different state groups and departments in 2005 are included here; police,
court system, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Defense, NSS, Local Self-Governing,
social sphere etc.The statistics in the report show that the former ombudsman
has got complaints against police, prosecutory, Ministry of Justice and its departments
most of all. "Since the representatives of law keeper bodies, infringing
human rights, remain unpunished, the society’s trust in the authority will reduce
and will prolong the way to the establishment of lawful state", – is said
in the report.The information of the former ombudsman made her come to the
following conclusion that the RA Police with its subdivisions used to infringe
human rights and basic freedoms. The tolerance of prosecutor’s bodies assists
it, which is justified by the interests of detecting the crime. According
to the report there the service of Compulsory Fulfillment of Court Acts hasn’t
fulfilled its obligations towards ministries, municipality, cadastre. And unlawful
conditions and attitudes still exist in prisons. There are some prisoners who
can have contacts with their friends, relatives, with the outside word, have TV
sets or radios in their prison sells. The Public monitoring group at the ombudsman
and Ministry of Justice has recorded cases of cruel attitudes. There are concrete
facts in the part about Prosecutory. The court does what the Prosecutor makes.Naira
