In connection with the arrest of the Corjova mayor, Mr. Valeriu Mitul and local counsel Mr. Iurie Cotofan.
Colleagues, friends and citizens of the Republic of Moldova!
On March 2, 2010, during the party peace march to commemorate those who died during the tragic war from the river, recorded 19 years after the beginning of military actions in Transnistria in Corjova, Dubasari Mayor Valeriu Mitul and district councilor Mr. Iurie magpie were arrested , by a group of people, about 50 thugs dressed as unconstitutional militia officials.In the same evening, both elected officials have been convicted by the so-called court of the city Dubasari to 7 days of detention.
In connection with this incident, the CALM, says the following:
1.We express our deep indignation and condemnation of illegal and criminal actions of the so-called representatives of the Transnistrian authorities, following which was an illegal seizure of legally elected representatives of local government. In this way, it is clear that the actions of the last period as a result of which they were arrested and convicted by Moldovan citizens, some challenges are better managed and organized against the citizens by the constitutional authorities of Moldova;
2.Mr. Valeriu Mitul is a well known personality and popular among his colleagues in local government and people Corjova for his achievements in the interest of his native community, especially the devotion and patriotism to the country and the character and dignity in which he faces the conditions under which we operate. He personally, and other true patriots of our nation, are hunted fiercely by separatist structures.Therefore, we express our deep concern for life and health of Mr. Valeriu myth, which certainly is at great risk, knowing the ways and means the sadistic KGB ISTE and the so-called separatist law enforcement operate;
3.Unfortunately we find that such actions occur in security and tacit acceptance of the so-called peacekeepers, which do not fulfill their duties and accept such acts of provocation and flagrant violations of basic human rights;
4.We believe that a considerable part of the blame for these acts and the unconstitutional authorities’ growing courage is on the shoulders of the Moldovan central government that for years have behaved tacitly and not presented an adequate response to its citizens being systematically humiliated and discriminated against without prosecuting perpetrators against such acts and not punishing them under existing laws. In many cases it is necessary for our government to wake up and show his new nationality that they themselves have dignity, respect and that in Moldova there is justice and law enforcement agencies that have the ability to protect its citizens? Vardanian, Cazacu, Mîțu … … Who is next? a minister? A Member? What’s left?
5.We can not accept and understand the passivity of law enforcement agencies of Moldova, which instead should take action and take all necessary action required by law to identify and prosicute so-called policemen, prosecutors, judges working without any remorse or conscience.Moreover, many of them are citizens of RM and / or living on the right bank, with all services provided to citizens of Moldova. Why does the law enforcement prosecution, police, security of the Republic of Moldova, who are obliged to protect its citizens wherever they are not react? For the new Moldovan citizens pay taxes and maintain such organs? In order to be systematically humiliated, beaten and kidnapped by criminals who now openly and without any obstacles, seize, accuse and condemn some of the most worthy and respected representatives of our people such as Mr. Valeriu Mîțu? Criminals who walk to freedom through all the towns and villages in Moldova and abroad with passports issued by authorities in Moldova! Why are those “citizens” not identified and processed?
6.We regret that our local governments and citizens loyal to the constitutional authorities of the Transnistrian communities usually left without any support from central governments, are left to this fate or even humiliated by the representatives of the Moldovan central authorities.Local authorities not just in this part of Moldova but actually as the whole country are turned into beggars and walk the streets in search of resources and justice.This besides the fact that the authorities in the Transnistrian region are operating under permanent threat to their health and life and also their relatives. At the same time the whole system of local government faces serious problems with disabilities, lack of finances, dependence on central authorities, etc.. And if the mayor from Corjova is telling by his attempts, usually unsuccessful, to reach the central authorities to address the problems of his community, separatists are taking advantage of this situation, offering different types of benefits to villagers to earn loyalty freedom from intimidation and promoting their social, economic and political rights.
7.We note with great regret that no member of parliament or the government participated in commemorative measures in areas of the left bank organized by local authorities in Dubasari on 2 March 2011.
Therefore, based on the above:
1.We demand the unconditional and immediate release of Dubasari local elected officials: Mayor Corjova Mr. Valeriu Mitul and district councilor, Mr. Iurie Cotofan;
2.We ask the central authorities of Moldova to immediately take all necessary actions to release Mr. Valeriu Mitul and Iurie Cotofan;
3.We ask law enforcement to take all measures investigation under current legislation to identify and ascertain the liability of persons who participated in the seizure, prosecution and sentencing of the Mayor and the legal advisor;
4.We urge to the Government and the Parliament to pay more attention to issues of public administration and to develop urgently a concrete action plan, consulted with local authorities, to support administrative, economic, financial, material, etc.. communities under the jurisdiction of constitutional bodies, and ensuring adequate conditions for citizens and local government activity in the area of security through the provision of social security and personal security, given concrete conditions.
5.We call on the entire civil society, local authorities and central leaders, including the Transnistrian region of Moldova to release prisoners – local elected officials, as well as condemnation of the illegal actions of force in Transnistria which violates fundamental human rights.
6.We appeal to the diplomatic corps and international organizations in Moldova, with the request to take all action necessary to release local elected officials;
7.Appeal to all local authorities in Moldova and all citizens of goodwill to undersigned and support this declaration.
8.We inform public opinion to support the CALM determine all possible measures Transnistrian colleagues in need, including organizing a rally in the coming days of solidarity and protest, if our colleagues need lederating
