Transnistrian Communist leaders nailed in Dubasari

The leader of the Communist Party from Transnistria, Oleg Horjan, and other top Communists, Nadezhda Bondarenko and Irina Sergeeva, were arrested for several hours on Friday, May 30, by the Dubasari militsia (police of breakaway regime). They were arrested as they were disseminating leaflets criticizing the head of the local administration. All run the risk to be fined or jailed, Info-Prim Neo's correspondent in the area reports. “Igor Mazur, appointed by Tiraspol leader Igor Smirnov as the head of the Dubasari administration, banned three times in a row to organize a protest meeting in Dubasari against the low living standard of the people. It seems he is afraid of hearing the claims of his citizens. Hundreds and thousands residents of the raion ask to hold a protest meeting in Dubasari to say: We not slaves in a reservation, we do not to live this way,” the leaflets read. Oleg Horjan, was sentenced to 1.5 years in jails last year, but got out on parole, for organizing a protest meeting in Tiraspol on March 13, 2007. On May 17 this year, residents from the towns of Tiraspol and Bender, at protest meeting, gave a no-confidence vote to leader Igor Smirnov and his manque cabinet, asking for early parliamentary elections.
