Stimati domni,

In Republica Moldova au loc incalcari grave ale drepturilor omului. Ca urmare a manifestatiilor de protest din data de 7 aprilie 2009, când sediile Parlamentului şi Preşedinţiei RM au fost devastate, politia a declansat un val de teroare si intimidare în masă a cetatenilor, in special a tinerilor, inclusiv minori. Sunt arestati atât participanti la devastare, cât şi manifestanti pasnici, dar si persoane care nu au participat la proteste inclusiv jurnalisti.
Politia intervine in forta, rapeste persoane din strada, licee, universitati, camine studentesti, inclusiv din preajma bisericii (ex: cazul Alexandru Gritcu) dupa slujba de Paste (Pastele Catolic). Procedura de retinere nu este respectata. Cei arestati, baieti sau fete, sunt batuti cu cruzime, supusi unui tratament inuman si degradant. Sunt inregistrate cazuri de tortura, este atestat un caz de deces. Unele arestari nu sunt declarate. Pana in prezent sunt parinti care nu-si gasesc copiii si nu pot obtine informatii despre locul aflarii lor.
Cei care au fost eliberaţi mărturisesc că cetăţenii reţinuţi sunt ţinuţi în condiţii mizerabile (15-20 de persoane in 10 mp), bătuţi cu bestialitate şi impuşi să semneze declaraţii false. Procesele de judecată au loc direct în comisariatele de politie, fără drept la apărare sau asigurat sumar. Accesul în locurile de detentie este ingradit in totalitate, inclusiv pentru avocati sau pentru organizatii de protecţie a drepturilor omului. Accesul a fost refuzat inclusiv pentru primarul Chisinaului, desi acesta a insistat de mai multe ori.
Datele furnizate de poliţie afirma ca au fost arestati in jur de 200 de cetăţeni. Presa din Chişinău, însă, a întocmit în baza apelurilor rudelor celor dispăruţi o listă de peste 800 de cetăţeni arestaţi. In mun. Chişinău au fost internaţi în spitale peste 50 de cetăţeni bătuţi de poliţie. Dispunem de informatii ca pentru a ascude maltratarea tinerilor, acestia sunt luati din mun. Chisinau si dusi in comisariate raionale de politie (ex: Vulcanesti, Taraclia) sau spre destinatii necunoscute.
În acest sens, solicităm implicarea Dumneavoastră pentru:
Oprirea tratamentului inuman si degradant, a torturii in locurile de detentie;
Incetarea terorii, a rapirilor de persoane, a amenintarilor si a intimidarilor;
Asigurarea accesului avocatilor, a ONG-urilor si a presei in locurile de detentie;
Garantarea drepturilor persoanelor retinute, in primul rand la aparare;
Informarea deplina asupra retinerilor efectuate si a incriminarilor aduse;
Pedesirea celor vinovati de comiterea abuzurilor mentionate;.

Appeal from the Mayor of Chisinau

Dear Mr/Mrs,

The Republic of Moldova encounters severe violations of human rights. Following the manifestations on 7th of April 2009, when the presidential and parliament buildings were seized by the protesters, the Moldovan police unleashed a wave of mass terror and intimidation against the citizens. Youth, including minors, has been particularly targeted. Journalists who did not participate in the protests were arrested along with protesters, both violent and peaceful.

The police acted in full force and have been arresting people on the street, students in high schools, universities and youth hostels, but also church attendants returning from the Easter mass. The arrest procedure is not followed through. Those apprehended, men or women, are beaten with cruelty and subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment. There are reports of torture and one death. Not all arrests have been reported. There are still parents in search of their missing children to whom access to their children’s’ whereabouts is denied.
Those released contend that the arrested are kept in dreadful conditions (15-20 people in a 10 m2 cell), beaten with brutality and compelled to sign under false statements. Spot trials are held in police premises with no or limited access to defense. The access to detention facilities is denied including to lawyers and human rights organizations. The repeated requests of the mayor of Chisinau to access the detention facilities were irrefutably turned down.

According to the police, 200 citizens remain under arrest. However, the Moldovan media compiled a list of some 800 missing people believed to be in police’s arrest. Over 50 people were hospitalized in Chisinau after having been beaten by police. There is information that in order to hide the abuses, the detained citizens are transported in other municipalities like Taraclia, Vulcanesti.

Herein are the brief information and audio/video testimonies of those people who were arrested, abused and kidnapped.

Sergiu Cretu –bone fracture of humerus (arm): 23 years old, peaceful protester, beaten at the police station. For his own secure,

After being tortured, by the policemen during several hours, he was forced to sign a false statement – guilty for instigation and bribed by the opposition to participate in protests. Herein you can find attached the audio/video testimony of Damian Hancu in English, the medical certificate and the request to the prosecutor.
