In fresh rulings against Armenia, the European Court of Human Rights has fined the authorities in Yerevan a total of 71,000 euros ($77,000) for the torture and other "inhuman treatment" of four Armenian citizens held in custody.
The Strasbourg court on Tuesday also declared illegal a May 2008 government ban on a demonstration against police brutality which an Armenian human rights group had planned to hold in Yerevan.
The group, the Armenian Helsinki Committee, sought no material compensation in its lawsuit filed to Strasbourg later in 2008.
