The Human Rights Defender Anahit Manasyan strongly condemns the preparation and dissemination of a video mocking individuals with autism, calling it reprehensible and unacceptable. The Defender urges users to remove the aforementioned video and eliminate its circulation.

Respect for persons with disabilities is a duty for each of us. It is essential to exclude any manifestation of discrimination against individuals with disabilities and to honor their dignity. In this context, the Human Rights Defender once again emphasizes the necessity of making greater efforts to eliminate stereotypes and prejudices against individuals with disabilities in society and to exclude discrimination.
