The Right of Citizens to Free Movement is Again Violated
00:00, May 22, 2009 | News | Freedom of Movement
On May 22, 2009, HCA Vanadzor sent a letter to the head of RA Highway Police M. Ohanyan and Human Rights Defeneder Mr. A. Harutyunyan.
On that day at 9:00-9:20 the employees of HCA Vanadzor registered that the transport from Vanadzor to Yerevan was not in service. The mini-buses and buses did not work. They have also registered that the highway police standing at the border of Vanadzor-Yerevan and Stepanavan-Yerevan road were checking all the mini-buses and buses leaving for Yerevan.
A similar fact has been recorded in Spitak when four police employees asked the passengers of the bus to get off and they allowed the bus to leave only after ten minutes.
In answer to our question on why the transport from Vanadzor to Yerevan was not in service the drivers said that there was going to be a meeting in Yerevan and that was the reason people could not go there.
Based on the above-mentioned I would kindly ask you to provide information why the transport was not in service and take necessary measures to prevent such situations.
