NEW HUMAN RIGHT ORGANIZATION TO BE FOUNDED IN MOLDOVA

24 march, 2017
NEW HUMAN RIGHT ORGANIZATION TO BE FOUNDED IN MOLDOVA A new human right protection organization will appear in Moldova – the Fund of Human Right Protection “Freedom Moldova”. Its founders are “Our Home is Moldova” (OHM) party leader Grigore Petrenco, lawyer Roiman Aronov and civil activist Roman Malinovschi.

 

At the Friday’s news conference at Infotag, Petrenco said that the organization is aimed at protecting legal interests and rights of Moldovan citizens.

 

“Unfortunately, the reality in Moldova today is such, that institutions, responsible for protection of citizens’ rights are not functioning. The pseudo-human right structures, appointed by the authorities are inert and useless. There are such organizations, which just put violations on paper. We want to become a real, autonomous and efficient organizations”, said the politician, stressing that the package of documents, necessary for registration, has already been submitted to the Justice Ministry.

 

Petrenco said that the thing that prompted him to establish the Fund was his own story with criminal cases, started against him by law enforcement agencies, controlled by the authorities.

 

“There is a selective justice in Moldova, a practice of starting politically motivated criminal cases. Also, such a category of prosecuted persons as “political detainees” appeared in the country. These are people, who dared to call things that are happening in the country by their proper names. I and several of my comrades spent several months in detention on an absurd accusation of organizing massive riots. Almost in an identical way the activists of the “Antifa” movement suffered, being accused of preparing an armed coup d’etat back in autumn 2014. But these things lasted for years without having any justice perspective. These are cases we will be dealing with in our new human right organization”, Petrenco said.

 

According to him, in perspective it is planned to launch a website, presumably on the internet address Freedom.md.
