General Prosecutor: Police shot real bullets on April 7

General Prosecutor Valeriu Zubco said this weekend that security forces used real bullets during the repression campaign on April 7, right after protesters vandalized the Parliament and Presidential buildings.

An employee of the Moldovan secret service used real bullets to shoot at a car stationed in front of the secret service headquarters.

Mr. Zubco said that this proves that security forces used real bullets during the April events, and said that his office has started a criminal investigation of this case.

The General Prosecutor also noted that Communist-appointed authorities knew about this case in April, but tried to sweet it under the rug.

On the night of April 7 and a few days after, security forces detained over 700 people and tortured 300 of them, according to a recent Soros Foundation report.

According to eye-witnesses shots were heard all night from April 7 to April 8, and it has now become apparent that at least in one case the shots were with real bullets.
