European Court of Human Rights rules against Armenian government

It's great to see that the Armenian government is now accountable to a higher court of human rights, since the courts there are so obviously not interested in upholding peoples rights when it comes to people vs. the government. The ECHR gave A1+ news station in Armenia a 30,000 Euro settlement for the violations of its rights by the Armenian government. The government has agreed to pay it. Too bad the fine was so small. Even sadder is that it comes from government coffers, not from the pockets of individuals in government actually responsible for this.

If more people take their cases to this court, it's conceivable that the Armenian government will behave just a little better.
