Update on prisoners of conscience in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh

Update on prisoners of conscience in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh
As of November 2008, in Armenia there are 80 Jehovah’s Witnesses in prison for their conscientious refusal of military service on religious grounds, and in Nagorno-Karabakh one of Jehovah’s Witnesses is in prison for his conscientious refusal of military service on religious grounds. It is hoped that alternative civilian service that is truly nonmilitary in nature will soon be an option available to young men like these.
