The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that the Armenian authorities violated the rights of citizens killed and injured during the brutal suppression of protests following the 2008 presidential elections. The opposition claimed that the election results were falsified, and the protests were met with force: ten people, including two police officers, were killed during the dispersal of the rallies.
