Voor deze COI Focus onderzocht Cedoca de mensenrechten- en socio-economische situatie van de Romaminderheid in Moldavië.

Political situation

17 October 2024

This COI Focus examines the current political situation in Armenia in the aftermath of the April 2018 Velvet Revolution, which saw the former government fall into opposition and former opposition leaders take power. Cedoca examined the impact of several events - including the war in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 and the region's surrender following an Azerbaijani offensive in September 2023 - on the domestic political situation and on political freedoms of citizens. Cedoca assessed in particular whether there are signs of political persecution, whether citizens or opponents may face difficulties in expressing their views on political issues, whether there are risks associated with participating in anti-government demonstrations, and whether past links to the former government or oligarchs might have consequences. Cedoca also examined what protection mechanisms exist and how accessible and effective they are for citizens experiencing problems with current or previous authorities.

Research for this COI Focus was completed on 12 September 2024.

Military service and military criminal cases

Cedoca also looked into the possibilities of ending criminal prosecution for conscription evasion, existing mechanisms to raise conscription issues or challenge a decision related to the call-up procedure of conscripts or reservists. In addition, Cedoca examined the conduct and possible outcome of criminal cases initiated in connection with the 2020 war. Lastly, Cedoca investigated whether individuals are screened for criminal charges when entering or leaving Armenia, as well as the documents that are checked during this process.
