PINK's Dear Mr. President Video: SOS Moldova
The song of Alecia Beth Moore, who performs under the stage name Pink, or P!nk, "Dear Mr. President" was used in a video posted on YouTube to show about the tragic events in Moldova after April 5th parliamentary elections.
Hundreds of people, including minors, were detained in Moldova as the country's authorities clamped down following demonstrations which started in the capital on 6 April, but which led to rioting on 7 April 2009, Amnesty International reported. Human rights organizations in Moldova have probes that many arrested young people were severely beaten and tortured, some girls were sexually abused. Three young men are believed to have died in police custody because of wounds.
Original "Dear Mr. President" was an open letter to American President George W. Bush (featuring the Indigo Girls) a number 1 hit in Belgium, a top five hit in Germany, Australia and other countries.
In this video, "the open letter" is for Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin, Chairman of the Communist Party of Moldova, who runs the country since 2001.
