Case 120_75
120_75 interference
75. The Court notes that it is apparent from the court decision that the
applicant was convicted for violating public order during a demonstration
and, more specifically, the demonstration of 7 April 2003 held on the
Mashtots Avenue. The actions which led to a penalty being imposed on the
applicant, according to the judge’s findings, were the “obstruction of street
traffic” and the “loud noise” she made during this demonstration which, in
the Court’s opinion, were the direct result of her participation in it. Thus, 16 ASHUGHYAN v. ARMENIA JUDGMENT
the Government’s assertion that the applicant blocked a street which had
nothing to do with the demonstration has no basis in the findings of the
domestic court. It follows that the applicant was convicted for her behaviour
at the demonstration.
