Amnesty International Moldova condemns the violent actions from Thursday, January 20 during protests from Chisinau, writes a press release. The organization regrets that politicians show ignorance and indifference to the international commitments assumed by signing documents in human rights. Amnesty International Moldova calls on the authorities to investigate effectively, without revenge, incidents during the protests.

 Press release of the organization:

Amnesty International Moldova condemns the violent actions from current 20th January, during protests from Chisinau. We regret that politicians continue to ignore their obligations under national and international law and human rights treaties. Moldovan politicians ignored their people’s voice and acted non transparently, undemocratically and dubiously, thus causing mass furiousness. We also condemn the actions limiting the free access to information, caused by blocking some mass media.

We ask the authorities to investigate efficiently, without any acts of retribution, the incidents from 20thJanuary, and bring to justice those who caused or favored acts of violence, censorship, non transparency, violating the principle of the Rule of Law. They shall be investigated correctly, within the frame of a fair trial. We ask the Prosecutor’s Office to refrain from selective justice and from starting political files, violating the right to a fair trial and Rule of law. They shall identify and punish those acting with impunity and immunity and violating human rights.

We also ask both state authorities and political parties to avoid violent actions and act according to law. We regret that after 7 years, following the events from 7th April 2009, the state authorities did not learn their lesson, and those who acted with impunity and immunity in 2009 were sent a dramatic message – ignoring the law in Moldova stays for non- punishment.
