Yerevan, August 8. /Mediamax/. Armenian Ombudsman Karen Andreasyan suggested Chief of Police Vladimir Gasparyan assigning relevant officials to ensure the safety and health of those taking part in the sit-in in front of Yerevan Mayor's Office.
The activists holding demonstration in front of Mayor's Office sent a letter to Ombudsman on August 5 noting the lack of opportunity to protect themselves from scorching sun, the Ombudsman's Office reports.
Karen Andreasyan notes in the message addressed to the Chief of Police that "placement of a sunshade is both legal and human".
"We have already noted and substantiated on other occasions that placement of a tent or sunshade during peaceful demonstrations can't be considered as illegal if it's necessary to protect the life and health of the demonstrators and if they don't interfere traffic or pedestrians", the Ombudsman's message reads.
Besides, Karen Andreasyan proposed the Chief of Police to strengthen the measures for ensuring the demonstrators' security when it's dark.
