Former Moldovan President (2001-2009) and Party of Communists (PC) head Vladimir Voronin testified at the Prosecutor's office today in the "April 7" case. On that day, peaceful anti-Communist protests degenerated into the destruction of the Presidential and Parliamentary buildings.
Mr. Voronin said at the time that the event was an attempted coup d'etat supported by Romania. He mentioned his coup hypothesis today, as well, although he did not mention Romania.
Mr. Voronin added that he ordered police forces not to fight back during clashes with protesters in order to avoid bloodshed. On the night of April 7, however, security forces initiated a repression campaign that ended with the detention of 700 people and the torture of 300 of them. It is unclear who ordered these measures, which resulted in the death of at least one protester.
