HRW Calls on Armenia to Investigate Beating of Protester
BERLIN, Germany—On Sept. 23, Rachel Denber, the deputy Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), called on the Armenian government to investigate the beating of a protester on Sept. 21.
“No peaceful protester should have to fear a brutal beating just for expressing their views,” Denber was quoted as saying. “The effectiveness of the investigation into the vicious assault on Smbat Hakobian will be a true test of how seriously the Armenian government takes its commit

Here we go again… Who cares what the CIA sponsored “Human Rights Watch” thinks?
{“HRW Calls on Armenia to Investigate Beating of Protester”}
If the falsely named HRW was so concerned about human rights, where are their “calls” to investigate:
The deaths of 3 Armenian civilian women murdered by Azerbaijan, while on their own property, minding their own business.
The murder of Garen Petrosyan, 31, a civilian who got lost and was abducted by the criminal Aliyev regime and rendered into one of their dungeons, where he was tortured to death by filthy nomads.
The murder Manvel Saribekian, 20, and Armenian shepherd who was abducted by Azerbaijani criminals at the border, and tortured to death in one of their dungeons.
The death of Mamikon Khojoyan, 75, who had dementia, and who got lost and ended up on the Azerbaijani side of the border. He was beaten by nomad Turk goons, his arm broken, and foreign substances injected into his system. He later died in Armenia as a consequence of his mistreatment at the hands of Turkic savages.
There are lots more such examples of HRW practicing selective outrage. Fact is, HRW, AI, and all similar outfits are Western imperialist Neocon front organizations, whose agenda it is to sow mistrust of government, mistrust of civic institutions, lawlessness, civic unrest – utter chaos – in the target countries under the guise of being concerned about ‘human rights’.
Again, if they are so concerned about human rights in general, why the total silence about Armenian victims of terror and torture at the hands of the criminal Baku mafia.
{““People in Armenia shouldn’t be risking serious injury to take part in a peaceful protest”}
Peaceful, defenseless women in Armenia, going about their lives in their own back yards in Armenia shouldn’t be risking sudden death at the hands of Turkic nomads from Uyguristan, Ms. Denber.
Is this to be construed as justification?
No this is to be construed as some of us Armenians having the presence of mind and not buying the fake “watch” of the self-appointed Human Rights organization’s lecturing Armenia and Armenians from their hypocritical self-appointed perch.
The highest rung of human rights is the right to life.
Let me repeat that: there can be higher human right than the right to life.
When HRW lectures Armenian authorities and demands this or that for a beating of person by unknown parties, while at the same time remaining completely silent about the murders of Armenian civilians, some by torture, by a known party – the State of Azerbaijan – then we construe that as being proof that HRW is not actually concerned about human rights at all, but is actually an organization who has an agenda other than what their name grandly, but falsely, construes.
And we construe that agenda being anti-Armenian and anti-Armenia.
We construe that agenda being to cause harm to the Republic of Armenia.
Thanks for asking.
typo correction: “there can be NO higher human right than the right to life.”
