Another suit has been filed with the court of primary jurisdiction of Center and Nork-Marash communities of Yerevan, demanding to annul the decisions of the National Commission on Television and Radio of April 2, 2002. Due to these decisions, "A1+" and "Noyan Tapan" TV companies were not granted broadcast licenses (see YPC Weekly Newsletter, March 30 – April 5, 2002). Plaintiff Artak Zeynalian noted in his suit application that these decisions have violated his civil right to freedom of speech, including the right to seek, to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority.
As it has been reported, on May 15 a similar suit to the same court was filed by the Chairman of the Public Council on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms Ashot Bleyan (see YPC Weekly Newsletter, May 11-24, 2002).
