Amnesty International announced in a September 11 press release that nine Moldovans arrested in Chisinau on August 30 will be considered "prisoners of conscience" if they are sentenced to prison. The nine, members of the nongovernmental organization Hyde Park, participated in a demonstration in Chisinau on August 30 in which they demanded that a statue for Romanian writer Liviu Rebreanu be erected. According to Amnesty International’s website, the group was granted official permission for the demonstration, but were nevertheless detained by police and held for 40 hours in poorly ventilated cells. They were also not given food, drink, or bedding; had only limited access to a toilet; and were denied access to a lawyer. "These nine people are going to be tried for the legitimate exercise of their rights to freedom of association and assembly," the press release quoted Heather McGill, Amnesty International’s researcher on Moldova, as saying. "Their treatment by the police violates international human rights conventions that Moldova is party to," she added. The demonstrators, aged between 18 and 50, could face sentences of up to 30 days in prison. BW \/\/ Copyright (c) 2005. RFE\/RL, Inc.
