Hyde Park is deeply concerned about Brega and Matasaru
scroll for English version

Noi, membrii şi simpatizanţii Asociaţiei Civice Internaţionale Hyde Park suntem îngrijoraţi de soarta lui Ghenadie Brega, ex-preşedinte HP, şi a lui Anatol Mătăsaru, simpatizant al organizaţiei noastre, care sunt urmăriţi deja în al doilea dosar penal, unul care pare să fie cusut cu aţă roşie.

Atragem atenţia Procuraturii Generale, responsabililor de securitatea internă în MAI, avocaţilor poporului şi ong-urilor de drepturile omului, presei şi observatorilor internaţionali că se încearcă izolarea şi reducerea la tăcere a celor mai pregnante voci din societatea civilă: autorul protestelor exotice dar şi non-violente cu porc şi măgar împotriva abuzurilor poliţieneşti, precum şi gestionarul celor mai influente proiecte ale asociaţiei noastre, toate fiind activităţi legale, paşnice de promovare a drepturilor omului, a diversităţii de opinie, acum sunt închişi după gratii, sau riscă să fie rupţi din societate în mod arbitrar, ilegal.

Despre Ghenadie Brega ştim sigur că la data invocată suspect de tardiv de pretinsa victimă (cu un an şi jumătate întîrziere), era preşedinte legal ales al Hyde Park, angajat la un post privat de televiziune, preocupat de buna organizare a primei ediţii a festivalului rock “LIVE. NO LIES!”, îngrijorat de procesele noastre de judecată, inclusiv plîngerile adresate Curţii Europene a Drepturilor Omului. Chiar recent am primit de la Strasbourg ştirea că am cîştigat primele patru procese contra Guvernului, care a fost declarat vinovat pentru încălcarea drepturilor noastre în anii 2005-2006. Iar dosarele noastre întocmite şi expediate cu grija lui Ghenadie Brega în toamna anului 2007 deja au fost comunicate Guvernului şi urmează poate chiar pînă lă sfîrşitul acestui an să aflăm decizia. Deci Ghenadie nu avea timp să se plimbe noaptea prin raionul Orhei, mai ales în sate pe care nu le-a vizitat niciodată. Cu atît mai mult, un promotor al libertăţii de expresie, jurnalist,  nu putea să jefuiască pe cineva, şi încă de produse alimentare.

Ne uimeşte şi revoltă faptul că plîngerea cetăţeanului de la Orhei, adresată abia pe 10 iulie anul acesta s-a transformat în aceeaşi zi în ordonanţă de începere a urmăririi penale, care a dus pînă la amiază la arestarea (în Chişinău, la Procuratura Generală) a lui Anatol Mătăsaru, apoi citarea şi investigarea promptă a lui Ghenadie Brega, invitat azi deja a doua oară la poliţia din Orhei, pe cînd plîngerile noastre despre abuzuri ale unor cetăţeni neidentificaţi (vezi agresarea manifestanţilor din 3 februarie în faţa PG, geamul spart al maşinii lui Anatol Mătăsaru, mitingurile sistate de poliţie şi abuzurile frecvente contra manifestanţilor), nu s-au soldat cu dosare penale nici după luni şi ani de investigaţie, deci nimeni nu a fost deranjat pentru violarea legii şi a drepturilor fundamentale ale omului.

Cu atît mai mult ne revoltă faptul că bunurile însuşite de poliţie prin violenţă, la 8 aprilie, cînd a fost agresat cameramanul de la Jurnal TV, Oleg Brega şi el membru Hyde Park, calculatoarele şi arhiva electronică a organizaţiei, sechestrate tot de poliţişti pe 9 aprilie, de la sediul neoficial Hyde Park, nu au fost restituite nici acum. Nici măcar modemul de conectare la internet, serviciu şi bun pe care îl plătim în fiecare lună, dar pe care nu îl putem folosi, pentru că se află în biroul procurorului Caraman.

În schimb procurorul Caraman a emis recent un nou act prin care Ghenadie Brega este declarat bănuit pentru încă trei luni.

Deci în primele trei luni de investigaţii nu s-a reuşit decît blocarea activităţii normale a Hyde Park. Ceea ce ne duce la gîndul că poliţia şi procuratura numai asta urmăreşte, să împiedice buna funcţionare a unei părţi importante din societatea civilă moldovenească, intimidează şi îngrădeşte libera circulaţie a cetăţenilor liberi, astfel compromiţînd statul de drept, punînd în pericol democraţia în Republica Moldova.

Hyde Park is deeply concerned about Brega and Matasaru

We, the members of ACI Hyde Park are deeply concerned about Ghenadie Brega, ex-president of Hyde Park, and Anatol Matasaru, an active human hights defender, who are prosecuted in the second thumping criminal file.

We want to draw the attention of the General Prosecution Office, of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Moldova, of the lawyers and of the Human Rights NGOs, of the mass-media and international observers to the fact that the Moldovan authorities intend to isolate and liquidate some of the most active Human Rights defenders: Anatol Matasaru and Ghenadie Brega.

On the 10th of July 2009, by an order for prosecution that was issued at this date, it is alleged that both Anatol Matasaru and Ghenadie Brega have assaulted and stolen food, wine and a hand watch from a young man in November 2007, in Orhei district (50 km from Chisinau). In fact, in November 2007 Anatol Mătăsaru and Ghenadie Brega did not even know each other. In fact, in November 2007 Anatol Mătăsaru and Ghenadie Brega didn’t even know each other, as they met in December 2008, when Ghenadie began to monitor Matasaru’s peaceful protests, and it was not possible for them to make anything together before.

We are amazed and revolted by the fact that this complaint lodged in Orhei with no other evidence, led immediately to the arrest of Anatol Matasaru in the same afternoon in Chisinau, and to the prompt summons and investigation of Ghenadie Brega, called repeatedly at the police station in Orhei.

At the same time, social activists’ complaints regarding abuses (for example, the attack on the remonstrators against human rights infringement on the February the 3rd, in the front of General Prosecution Office has never been investigated, the broken by a bullet glass of Matasaru’s car, while he was inside, the meetings interrupted by the police and the frequent abuses against the peaceful remonstrators have also been ignored); none of these cases results in criminal files, not even months later. More than that, the national authorities and international observers were not concerned or troubled with the violations of law and basic human rights in Moldova.

Ghenadie Brega is the ex-president, actually an active member of Hyde Park, responsible for the most noticeable projects of the organization. He is also a national observer of the Institute of Human Rights, accredited by CEC (Central Electoral Council) for the elections on the 29th of July. At the same time, Ghenadie Brega observes the public meetings and manifestations, being involved in the Resource Center of Moldovan Non-governmental Organizations for Human Rights project.

Ghenadie Brega is suspected in another fabricated criminal file of „organizing mass disorders”, pretended to have taken place on the 6 th – 7 th of April 2009 in Chişinău. Even if Ghenadie Brega participated only at the perfectly peaceful manifestation against fraud elections on the 6th of April, and he was even not in Chişinău on the 7th of April, his Moldovan and Romanian passports have been taken away, so that now Ghenadie has no possibility to leave Moldova. Mr. Caraman, the prosecutor recently issued a new document stating that Ghenadie Brega is declared suspect for 3 months more.

Anatol Matasaru is well-known for his peaceful and exotic protests with a pig and a donkey, organized against and as proves of police abuses and corruption. Anatol was arrested for his courage and civic attitude during his protest on the prosecutor’s day, in January 2009. In February and March he has been protesting and confronting the police. On the 8th of April, Matasaru was again arrested as a participant at the mass protest from the previous day. At the police station he was maltreated and tortured and then imprisoned for two months. Immediately after this term expired, he was condemned to home arrest for other 30 days. Only on the 10th of July the prosecutor declared him free.

The activities organized by Anatol Matasaru and Ghenadie Brega were absolutely legal, peaceful and aimed to promote human rights and the pluralism of opinions, but the Moldovan authorities seem to be bothered.
Now Anatol Matasaru is imprisoned and Ghenadie Brega is entered as a suspect in a fabricated file. Both of them pressed with the main intention to remove them from the civil society in an illegal and arbitrary way.

These attacks on civil activist are not rare in Moldova. It is important to notice that on the 8th of April, the journalist from JurnalTV, Oleg Brega, also a member of Hyde Park, was aggressed and on the next day, the 9th of April the police came to the unofficial residence of Hyde Park and sequestered the computers and the electronic archive of the organization. The goods are now, three months later, still in the prosecutor’s office.

In the first 3 months of investigations the police obtained only the blocking of the normal activity of Hyde Park.

We conclude that, in fact, the main purpose of the police and prosecutors is to block the normal functioning of Hyde Park and of the civil society, to intimidate and restrict the circulation of free citizens, compromising and endangering this way the democracy of the Republic of Moldova.
