The Bush administration covers up for the human rights abuses of regimes that can not be classified as liberal democracies that have sent troops to Iraq and that are repressing demonstrators that are demanding the return of the troops of their countries from the useless, unnecessary and expensive Iraq War. One example of such a country is Moldova, where the ruling Party of Communists of the Republic of Moldova is behind the arrests of the peaceful demonstrators from the Hyde Park Association, which even had a permit for their demonstration on August 29-31, on the flimsiest and most unjustified pretext. “Although the demonstrations of „Hyde Park” NGO in front of the Government’s House were authorized by the City Hall of Chisinau for August 29-31, the police motivated the arrests with the fact that on the date of August 30 no demonstrations were allowed.” See “9 NGO Members Were Arrested During a Peaceful Demonstration”, at http:\/\/www.azi.md\/print\/40798\/En<\/a> . We have included a translation from Romanian into English of the latest press release of the Hyde Park organization. In it, the members are expressing their fears that their demonstration for the end of the draft, for the retreat of Moldovan troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and for the retreat of Russian troops from the Transnistrian secessionist area of the Republic of Moldova will be repressed.
\nUnder these conditions, is there any wonder that the Bush administration’s push for democratization has bypassed Moldova? What the Bush administration has instead done was to facilitate the re-Stalinization, re-Communization and re-Sovietization of the contents of the history textbooks in use in Moldova starting on September 1, 2006. For more information on the course, see “Moldovan Historians and Writers Call on International Community to Objectively Treat Issue of Integrated History Course”, at http:\/\/www.azi.md\/print\/40175\/En<\/a> . ‘According to a joint declaration issued by the two structures, by this experiment the current government is trying to reintroduce the Soviet historiography theses in the history course aiming to “intoxicate” the young generation with Stalinist ideas on history, language and culture.’ These moves to “return to the past” are opposed by the Association of Historians of Moldova, The Writers’ Union and by the overwhelming majority of the opposition parliamentary deputies. Also see “Foreign Experts Say Moldova Should Keep Present History Course”, at http:\/\/www.azi.md\/print\/24694\/En<\/a> .
\nWe do not recognize in the Republican Party of today the pro-democracy, anti-Communist spirit of the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan, but the Communist spirit of those neo-cons who used to be Trotskyists. They have created the atmosphere that allowed the use in the United States of the phone tapping practices, character assassinations of whistle-blowers and shameless lying characteristic of regimes such as those of the ruling Moldovan Communists and of the ex-KGB-ist Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Press Release<\/p>\n

Appeal to the Representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations Whose Purpose is the Defense of Human Rights, Lawyers and the Mass Media!<\/p>\n

On Sunday, 09\/03\/2006 (on the Day of the National Army), between the hours 10:00 [AM] and 12:00 [PM], the Hyde Park Association is inviting you to an act of protest in front of the Ministry of Defense in order to demand the end of the compulsory character of military service, in the Republic of Moldova, just like it was don a long time ago in all the European State, in order to bring the Moldovan troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, and for the retreat of the Russian occupation troops from the territory of the Republic of Moldova [from Transnistria – translator’s note]. The action was authorized by Chisinau City Hall.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, whether intentionally or not, the authorities are again giving proof of irresponsibility or bad faith through the formulation of the [permit] for the action, in which it is written that we would protest in order to ‘promote compulsory military service” even though, in soliciting this authorization, we wrote clearly that we would protest “in order to demand the elimination of the compulsory military service”.<\/p>\n

Since on the occasion of the last action of authorized protest, because of a mistaken interpretation of the text of the authorization by the representatives of the forces of order, nine members and sympathizers of the organization Hyde Park were abusively arrested and illegally locked up for more than 40 hours, without any judicial justification, we assume that on this occasion, [the authorities] are looking for a pretext in order to prevent the good unfolding of the protest. Under these conditions, we are appealing to the representatives of the non-governmental organization which have as an object the defense of human rights, to lawyers and the mass media to continue to monitor these actions, in order to avoid the repeating of the abuses of the forces of public order.<\/p>\n

The location where the action will take place, the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense on Hincesti Street, no. 84, in the Telecentru region, Chisinau, close to the “Alley of the rulers”, built and agreed by the Communists, whose gates are open only during the weekend.<\/p>\n
