The civic association Hyde Park is concerned about the police's and prosecutors' failure to act and defend the rights of the people and about the protection of the functionaries that repeatedly broke the law. In a news conference on April 1, the association's leader Parascovia Topada said that Hyde Park knows cases when the public servants do not observe the law and ban access to the information about their work that is paid with taxpayers' money, Info-Prim Neo reports. The Hyde Park leader said the attacking of a cameraman of the associational by the mayor of Straseni is the most revolting case. The mayor did not allow him to attend a public meeting and film and started to punch him. The prosecutor in Straseni who examined the complaint filed by the cameraman said the mayor did nothing against the law, Parascovia Topada said. In the same news conference, lawyer Victor Pantaru said the fact that the prosecutor had incontestable proofs of the mayor's aggressive and inappropriate behavior, but ruled that the public servant did not violate the right to information is very serious. According to Victor Pantaru, there are many cases when the police officers and the prosecutors either misunderstand their tasks, postpone the examinations until it is too late or decide that the actions about which the victims complained do not represent criminal acts. The lawyer said the civil servants do not have the right to ban access to public meetings for persons, no matter what the race, nationality, civil status or religion of these persons is.
