CE Secretary General Terry Davis statement on Moldova

Council of Europe Directorate of Communication has issued the following statement of Terry Davis, Secretary General of the Council of Europe:

Terry Davis's statement on Moldova: “During the last few days, we have received very mixed news from Moldova. On one hand, I am encouraged by the proposal to check electoral lists and recount the votes. This should help to calm the post-election controversy. On the other hand, I am very concerned about alleged breaches of human rights with alleged detention of large numbers of people, including children, and restrictions on the freedom of media. Against this background, I have asked Jean-Louis Laurens, the Director General for Democracy and Political Affairs of the Council of Europe, to travel to Chisinau immediately and report on the situation in the country.”

Strasbourg, 15.04.2009
