The Fulger [Lightning] special forces are being investigated for alleged wrongdoings during the April protests, General Prosecutor Valeriu Zubco said today.
“I am convinced that a lot of things will become clearer - with the Declaration of Independence [Imedia: which burned down during the mass disorder], with who hoisted the Romanian flags on the two state institutions [Imedia: Parliament and the Presidency], their devastation, and so on. Sooner or later, the truth will surface," Mr. Zubco noted.
After authorities announced that the Party of Communists won legislative elections on April 5, peaceful protesters came out into the street on April 6 and 7 to demonstrate against alleged election fraud. At one point on April 7, a group of violent protesters began throwing rocks at police officers in front of the Parliament and Presidency, eventually made their way into the buildings, and set a few floors on fire.
On the night of April 7, authorities started a mass repression campaign that ended in the arrest of about 700 people and the torture and beating of around 300 of them, according to a Soros Foundation report.
At least a few deaths have been tied to the repression, including that of Valeriu Boboc.
