The lastest news from Moldova are that cops dressed as civilians are kidnapping students to beat them up and make them disappear. Pictures by Daniel.












Check the following video from Youtube. It is in Romanian but there is a written English translation.

Other cops would be used as riot instigators.

According to a report translated from a Russian press release on Wired's blog, a Moldovan activist would face criminal charges for organizing demonstrations that were enabled by social networking tools like Twitter and Facebook, .

In an interview with Russian news agency ITAR-TASS, Moldovan Prosecutor General Valeriu Gurbulea said Natalia Morar, one of the organizers of an anti-Communist flash mob, has been officially charged with "calls for organizing and staging mass disturbances." (Morar has not been put in jail, however -- despite some reports to the contrary.)

On her LiveJournal blog, Morar distanced herself from the riots. In an interview with The New York Times, Morar said she expected to face charges; she added that organizers had received threatening phone calls.

Morar's LiveJournal page went much of the day without updates; reports circulated that she had been locked up, following the charges filed against her. At 7:13 p.m., she posted this update: "Reports of my detention are not true. I'm O.K."

Chipnt also reports on Twitter about communist civilians attacking the protesters and gives a list of communist supporters misinforming through Twitter as well:

"List of detected communists trying to mislead you: @nordastelo @CStere @mixman2009 @mediamtv @olgaroberts #pman Report and ignore them! "

Today, according to Chipnt , Communists would have blocked students in their classrooms warning them that they would be expelled from the university if they were to protest.

According to a Twit from Andreisava, there would be a new peaceful protest tomorrow at 10 AM:

"Friday 10 April at 10 AM , Flower Revolution in Chisinau Moldova #pman No violence! Everyone will have flowers! Yes we can! Change has come! "

Some Twitters report that Chisinau would be surronded by government troops.

More proof of abuse from the Communist power and supporters.

The President of the Republic of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, has accused once again the opposition of attempting a civil war and said in an interview with Ria Novosti that authorities intentionally let demonstrators to ransack the Parliament headquarters, so that everybody see what they can do when holding the power of the state. In the interview, he offers his version on events in Chisinau.

He said that the Moldovan people "for the first time saw the opposition openly betray its own people and its own country" by attempting a civil war. "The whole country saw that there is no opposition whatsoever in Moldova - neither anti-Communist, nor anti-Voronin. There is only opposition to the state", Voronin said, quoted by Ria Novosti.
