In the eve of Press Freedom Day, in Chisinau police persecute journalists. Notice what kind of methods the employees of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Moldova used in order to interrupt without reason a legal and peaceful manifestation. On April 30 ,2008 at National Palace of Chisinau it was commemorated 50 years from the launch of the public TV channel (which in fact is not public), with participation of president. The manifestation began at 5.25 pm. and lasted only 7-8 min , being brutally interrupted by police officers. About manifestation. Initially only Oleg Brega protested but after 4 min, being persecuted (by MIA representatives-with and without uniform), Gheorghe Lupusoru posted a message; Ghenadie Brega filmed almost everything. Parascovia Topala and Anatol Hristea-Stan looked out from proximity everything that happened at protest. Police organized a cordon and created an obstacle for participants not to approach to the entry of Palace, where there were a lot of people who come to celebrate 50 years from foundation of public company “Teleradio-Moldova”. One citizen wrested white canavas from Oleg Brega, which had the message:”50 years of lies». Finally officers arrested the journalists Oleg Brega and Gheorghe Lupusoru, the observers Anatol Hristea-Stan and Ghenadie Brega(journalist from “Eu-TV”)and also the aggressor (Vladimir Cibotaru) who was deliberated after 30 min.The officers broke up the legislation, namely: -they didn’t legitimate although protestants demanded this; -no one of interdictions was argued by police; -restriction of freedom of expressing opinion and interruption of a peaceful demonstration.
