This episode examines a widening pattern of political repression in Armenia, focusing on the criminalization of speech, selective justice, and coordinated pressure against journalists, lawyers, clergy, and human rights defenders. Drawing on multiple statements and reports by the Armenian Center for Political Rights (ACPR), the discussion traces how legal tools, media campaigns, and vague criminal provisions are used to silence dissent and reshape the boundaries of acceptable public life.
