Bloggers' rage devolves into street protests

Tens of youths gathered near the Triumph Arch in Chisinau on Saturday to protest against the Prosecutor's office probing several adolescents who wrote commentaries on web forums, Info-Prim Neo reports. The protest action organized by the Unimedia portal has started not without incidents. Although the beginning was scheduled for 10.00, the manifestation started later, “because the police cut the electrical power,” said the blogger Tudor Darie. According to him, “the police tried to start legal proceedings against the person who tried to reconnect the area to the power. “ Armed with loudspeakers, mice around necks, and holding posters equaling SIS (Information and Security Service) to the KGB, the protesters have chanted anti-Communist slogans. They have adopted a resolution condemning the actions of Procuratura and they say they will tender to the Parliament, asking it for an attitude as to the issue. The young forum writers' action has been supported by several opposition political parties. A Liberal Democrat leader, Mihai Godea, has stated “now we assist at the beginning of transnistrialization of Moldova, and the latest actions of the government intimidating media, political parties and ordinary people pursue to create a North Korea in Europe's center.” A similar position has been expressed by deputy president of the youth organization of Moldova Noastra Alliance, Andrei Hancu. “The Communist abuses have lasted for more than 7 years. We are in solidarity with this youths, who have the courage to express their thoughts freely,» he said. Present at the event, lawyer Vitalie Nagacevshi has said the fact that those young men expressed their opinion on the Net as to what is going on in Moldova today can't be qualified as something illegal.

On June 4, the Procuratura seized the computers of 12 adolescents it accuses of “calling to violently overthrow the constitutional regime and to liquidate the statehood and territorial integrity of Moldova.”
