Incident date: January 26, 2021

Attack type:

• Illegal impediments to journalistic activity, denial of access to information

Who attacked: Authorities

Source: Yerevan.today

Location: Armenia, Yerevan

Additional information:

The journalist of the Yerevan.today news website was banned from entering the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. The journalist agreed to an interview with one of the deputies, at the request of whom she received a one-time pass. However, the security officers said she could not enter the parliament building as her accreditation was revoked because of the scandal between her and deputy Hayk Sargsyan. It should be noted that depriving the journalist of her accreditation was a very controversial decision, but even if it was considered justified, it does not mean that this media representative has no right to enter the National Assembly by agreement with a deputy on a one-time pass and take an interview.
