Promo-LEX Association calls on the constitutional authorities of the Republic of Moldova to discuss the observance of human rights in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova with the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Russian Presidential Executive Office Dmitry Kozak, IPN reports.
“The situation of the eight schools situated on the territory controlled by the de facto administration of Tiraspol, which are yet within the jurisdiction of the constitutional authorities, remains one of the serious problems. An attempt was made recently to suspend the activity of the Tiraspol High School “Lucian Blaga” for a period of three months. Hundreds of students run the risk of not being able to start the education process in the 2021 – 2022 school year. Also, the ECHR decision in the case of Catan and others vs. Moldova and Russia has been unexecuted for almost nine years,” Promo-LEX said in a press release
Promo-LEX Association won yet over 50 cases at the ECHR, which awarded over 5 million in respect of pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage and legal assistance in favor of over 2,000 victims of human rights violations. Among the serious problems is also the use of inhuman and degrading treatment, abusive arrests in the region, including based on falsified accusations and against persons who criticize the regime, and also the implementation of a repressive system against persons who freely express themselves publicly, who are convicted of alleged cases of extremism and espionage.
Promo-LEX repeatedly calls on the authorizes of the two states to make every effort for Oleg Horjan, Adrian Glijin, Sergey Mirovici and other political prisoners from the Transnistrian region, who were abusively accused of offenses without substantiation, to be immediately set free, and to also take individual and general measures deriving from the ECHR decisions concerning the violation of human rights in the Transnistrian region so as to ensure free access for efficiently monitoring the human rights situation there, including by engaging human rights defenders and special UN rapporteurs and by punishing those to blame for human rights violations in the region.
President Maia Sandu on August 11 will have a meeting with the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak, who is in Moldova on a visit. The meeting will also be attended by Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Vlad Kulminski and Deputy Prime Minister Nicu Popescu, Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, IPN reports.
