HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVISTS ADVOCATE FOR LAWYER ANNA URSACHI

Human right activists Grigore Petrenco and Alexander Petkov, as well as deputy chairman of the oppositional Partidul Nostru [Our Party] Nicolai Tipovici advocated in protection of lawyer Anna Ursachi.

At the Wednesday’s news conference at Infotag, Petrenco said that Ursachi is not without reason called a people’s lawyer.

“She takes up to protect people, who are persecuted by the regime due to political reasons. There are few such lawyers in Moldova. Very often, lawyers are afraid to undertake the protection of persons, persecuted by the authorities. This is not a secret. The concocted criminal case against Ursachi is absurd, is a dirty scenario, launched by oligarch Vlad Plahotniuc at TV channels, controlled by him. Unfortunately, a ridiculous film, a fake has been shot, by means of which they try to connect Ursachi with a certain murder. Such steps are taken for two goals: to stop her legal activity and to threaten the entire lawyers’ corpus”, he said.

Former MP Alexander Petcov reminded that prosecutors Viorel Morari and Nicolae Chitoroaga, who issued the decision on resuming the criminal prosecution against Ursachi, are known for their personal devotion to Plahotniuc.

“The case has been initiated despite the fact that it has been closed by different institutions for three times before. The case was initiated by prosecutors, who are working in the prosecution system, supposedly reformed according to European standards. But their methods have nothing in common with European values, the main of which is the protection of human rights. The persecution of the lawyer has been started in a Stalinist manner. I want to point the international and European partners and current Moldovan authorities’ attention on what is happening”, Petcov said, stressing that accusations against Ursachi are being charged in the traditional genre of “television justice”.

Our Party Deputy Chairman Nicolai Tipovici said that he was one of the first political detainees, when he was arrested on false accusation on December 1, 2014.

“During all three months I spent in prison, Anna Ursachi was all the time supporting me. This case and everything that it being done against her have been falsified. Also, I am here today in order that the ruling clique to know that we will stand shoulder to shoulder to protect the people’s lawyer and will stand up for Anna Ursachi”, he said, calling on opposition, all the honest citizens to join the protest against the ordered justice.
