FRAUDS ANNOUNCED BY PEOPLE

It is almost 8.00 P.M., but the alarming calls keep arriving. Many claim they do no longer feel confident of their own safety and ask for the journalists’ protection.

We received calls by people from the city of Ialoveni, and we were told that there were already over 300 young people arrested after being identified by police from the photos of the protests.

We received calls from Bacioi, and we were told that the mayor and the local police intimidated children from the city’s school. They threatened the children with imprisonment if they participate in protests. Some children are in a state of shock and parents are afraid to go to the doctor.

We received calls from Chisinau and we were told that today, near the Sun City store, young people were arrested in the street and loaded onto cars and taken to an unknown destination.

We received calls from the customs’ and were told that Moldovan students who wanted to return home for the Easter Holidays were stoped at the border, and were not allowed to cross the Moldovan border.

We were contacted by people from Chisinau and we were told that mobile phones had been disconnected in the center of the city to create impediments in communication.

We were called by people who identified themselves as „policemen friendly to the people”, and who said that the waves of arrests would continue, therefore people should not carry their ID’s on them . (They did not explain why).

We were called by people from Ciocana region of Chisinau who they said that they had received telephone calls and the people on the other end of the line introduced themselves as «police» and asked them about their neighbors, how to find them and what time they usually come home.

We were called by the parents of young people missing since the 7th or the 8th of April and they said that they could not find their children and that the police didn’t want to help or explain anything.

We were called by people from Orhei and we were told that if there was a group of people of more than 5 people – some person would approach them holding a map of „The Great Romania” and immediately unidentified men would appear and arrest them accusing them of aggression from Romania.

All these things should be checked, but state institutions no longer respond to our calls. We continue to record people’s complaints and we will insist on getting the official answers to all your questions.

Thank you all for your cooperation
