Another case of kidnapping and illegal arrest is registered in Moldova’s separatist region of Transnistria. As the Ministry of Reintegration reports, Alexandru Coliban, citizen of Moldova, was kidnapped by unknown persons and sentenced to 2.6 years in prison by the self-proclaimed authorities in Tiraspol.<\/p>\n

Alexandru Coliban, 22, residing in Chisinau, was condemned for “alleged slander and hindrance of free vote” during the previous so-called elections in Transnistria on September 11, 2011, which ended with the election of Evgheny Shevchuk as the head of the separatist region.<\/p>\n

The teenager recruited people to distribute flyers during the electoral campaign. The advertisement was oriented against the current leader of Transnistria.<\/p>\n

Chisinau-based Promo-LEX think tank said in a press conference that Mr. Coliban was detained for three days, being put pressure upon to admit the alleged guilt.<\/p>\n

Promo-LEX informs that starting from October 31st, the local media in Transnistria broadcast TV shows containing images of the denigration campaign addressed to the electoral candidates. They featured posters with messages against Evgheny Shevchuk.<\/p>\n

“We are talking about revenge, because Shevchuk (being president) addressed a letter to the judicial bodies demanding frankly to prosecute Alexandru very severe and imprison him for a maximum of 3.6 years,” Pavel Postica, attorney at Promo-LEX Association said.<\/p>\n

He added that the teenager is being illegally imprisoned and “exclusively on political reasons.”<\/p>\n

Alexandru’s mother, Svetlana Coliban is asking the Moldovan and Russian authorities (which have influence over the territory) to free her son unconditionally. She will send a dossier to the European Court of Human Rights. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
