Interim President to donate part of his salary every month to son of young man killed during April repression

Interim President and Speaker Mihai Ghimpu announced today that he would donate part of his salary - 1,000 lei (about 100 dollars) - every month to Dragos Boboc, the son of Valeriu Boboc.

Mr. Boboc was beaten to death on the night of April 7, when the Communist authorities started a mass repression campaign that ended with the detainment of 700 people and the beating and torture of 300 of them, according to a recent Soros Foundation report. On that day, a group of protesters vandalized the Parliament and Presidential buildings in protest of what they said were stolen elections. The Communists won nearly 50 percent on April 5.

It is still unclear who killed Valeriu Boboc. The ruling Alliance for European Integration has promised to find the perpetrators.
