Chasing in the Center of Yerevan: Citizens Apply to NGNGO
On May 14, 2025, three individuals contacted New Generation Humanitarian NGO (NGNGO), reporting an immediate threat to their life and safety. On the same day, they had been near Yerevan State Medical University named after M. Heratsi, when unknown individuals began following and chasing them.
The victims overheard the pursuers discussing M.A.’s and their friends’ alleged sexual orientation and gender identity. In response, they decided to leave the area, but the unknown individuals continued to follow them.
Under psychological pressure and in an atmosphere of fear, M.A. and their companions turned to NGNGO’s Drop-In Center to seek safety and legal assistance. The pursuers followed them to the vicinity of the center but were unable to determine their exact location.
With NGNGO’s support, the chasing by the unknown individuals was successfully stopped.
