"About 70 residents of the polluted Tumanyan region will defend their right to a healthy environment in court", 30 June 2021
Approximately 70 residents of the Tumanyan region of Armenia's Lori marz will defend their right to health, life, and property in court. Residents of the extended Akhtala community...[H]ave filed lawsuits against the mining and processing plant located in Akhtala that are based on analyses carried out by Arnika.
...[T]he lawsuits concern violations of the right to health, the right to privacy, and the right to inviolability of property, along with claims for damages.
The lawsuits are based on the results of analyses of samples taken from local residents who are exposed to the polluting factories of the mining industry, as well as samples of soil, water, and agricultural products from areas of persistent pollution.
