Parliament creates committee to investigate events in April

Parliament has created a committee to investigate the April events that unfolded in Moldova, when a group of violent protesters set a few floors of the Parliament and Presidential buildings on fire on April 7. Heavy repression followed after this event. At least three deaths have been tied to the repression. For more background on the events, see here.
