Vlad Biletski, the leader of the group of people who protested on November 14, 2016, who was accused of intentionally blocking traffic, does not agree with the fine imposed by the authorities and disputed it in court. Biletski said the fact that they intentionally blocked streets must be proven. Until this is not done, he benefits from the presumption of innocence. The statements were made in a news conference at IPN.

The young man said facts or declarative evidence that he urged to block traffic must be provided. However, in the first hearing the video evidence invoked by the prosecution wasn’t presented.

The leaders of the protesters said he will not comment on the person, integrity and professionalism of his judge for the period of the trial. He wants the trial to be public, but understand that it is the judge who decides this and he can only comply. Vlad Biletski said he is fond of law and decided to defend himself in court.

In the news conference, Vlad Biletski inquired why he was fined in the case of their protests, while the Socialists were not when they put up tents and blocked six lanes on Stefan cel Mare Blvd.

A group of young people led by Vlad Biletski protested against the rigging of the presidential elections on November 14, 2016. These notified the public authorities of the protest on the day of the event.
