Azi Curtea Europeană a Drepturilor Omului a făcut publice cele trei hotărîri din 10 martie 2009, prin care Republica Moldova a fost iar condamnată pentru încălcarea Convenţiei Europene pentru Drepturile Omului, act internaţional ratificat de Moldova încă acum 12 ani. În special s-a recunoscut violarea articolului 11, dreptul la întrunire şi asociere, prin faptul că ne-a fost interzisă organizarea de mitinguri în anul 2006, şi justiţia internă n-a vrut să ne apere.
Mîine la amiază vom organiza şi o conferinţă de presă cu acest subiect, unde vom prezenta detalii.

Violations of Article 11

1. Hyde Park and Others v. Moldova (no. 33482/06)
2. Hyde Park and Others v. Moldova (no. 45094/06)
3. Hyde Park and Others v. Moldova (no. 45095/06)

The applicants are: Hyde Park, a non-governmental organisation registered with the Moldovan Ministry of Justice at the time of the events, which has since discontinued its registration with the State and was replaced by Hyde Park unincorporated association; and, five Moldovan nationals, Gheorghe Lupuşoru, Anatol Hristea-Stan, Mariana Gălescu, Alina Didilică and Oleg Brega. Relying in particular on Article 11 (freedom of assembly and association), the applicants complained that the authorities had refused to allow certain of their peaceful demonstrations, namely:

1. in October 2005, in a park in Chişinău, in support of freedom of speech;
2. in January 2005, before the Romanian Embassy in Chisinau, to protest against the policy of Romania concerning Moldovan students in Romania; and,
3. in February 2006, in front of the Parliament, to protest against the non-transparent manner of organising the Eurovision song contest in Moldova.

The Court held unanimously that in all three cases there had been a violation of Article 11 on account of the competent domestic authorities – the municipality – having rejected Hyde Park’s applications with reasons which had not been provided for in the relevant domestic legislation. The Court awarded the applicants in respect of non-pecuniary damage EUR 3,000 in each case, and EUR 1,000, in each case, for costs and expenses.
