Olga Vladimir, a 75-year-old woman from the village of Teleseuca (Donduseni), has been sentenced to four years in jail for dealing drugs after police officers found a few pieces of hemp in her backyard.
Ms. Vladimir, who has several health problems, is now in prison.
Neighbors have been quoted as saying that her son, who passed away a few years ago, may have had a drug problem or that she may have been set up by the police. Some human rights experts like Stefan Uritu say that neighbors sometimes throw hemp seeds in their neighbors' backyards if they have disagreements. Police officers may also do so to increase the number of cases they have discovered.
Mr. Uritu, who is head of the Helsinki Committee in Chisinau, said that he does not think the woman is guilty.
