The main purpose of the visit was to examine the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty in the course of or following demonstrations organised by opposition parties in Yerevan in April 2004. In its report, the CPT has recommended measures to stamp out ill-treatment by the police, ensure the effective implementation of the existing legal provisions related to police custody, and improve conditions of detention in police and prison establishments.
