07 April 2010 [11:30] - TODAY.AZ
Participants of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) Forum, held in Yerevan on April 6, were periodically coming out of the hall to meet protesters in front of the building and to have friendly conversations with those who have gathered upon an initiative of the NGO Committee for the Protection of Political Prisoners.

"We have come here for you, justice should be administered. We are standing beside you," FIDH Secretary General Luis-Guillermo Perez told protesters.

"We would be very glad to see all the prisoners set free. We are glad that you are fighting for your freedoms and for the freedom of political prisoners," said Perez.

FIDH President Souhayr Belhassen, prior to entering the conference hall, stopped for a couple of minutes with the protesters, kissed some of them and stood next to them with her clenched fist raised in the air while the protesters were chanting "Freedom!"
