Yerevan Press Club Incensed Over "Parada" Film Refusal

14:19, October 24, 2012

TheYerevan Press Club shares the indignation of Armenia’s non-governmental organizations who disseminated a letter on October 23 condemning another refusal to host the screening of the film "Parada". We consider the obstacles raised for such public events as a blatant violation of the right to freedom of expression.

It has been only a year since we appreciated that the practice of refusing provision of premises for political motives has almost stopped. And today, the Armenian society faces yet a new, not less disgraceful challenge – an artificial restriction on disseminating information about issues of diversity and personal freedom.
