Russia and Europe Compete for the Post-Soviet Space: The "Victory" Alliance of the Opposition Held a Protest on Saturday, About 70 People Were Detained
The Moldovan police said that 69 people were detained during the "Victory" Alliance protest on Saturday, and 148 records were made for various violations.
The opposition protest held in Chișinău on Saturday ended with the police forcibly dispersing participants and dismantling the tent camp set up by the protesters. The demonstration was organized by the "Victory" Alliance to oppose President Maia Sandu's policies. Demonstrators called for the release of political prisoners and an end to the suppression of the opposition.
On August 5, the Chișinău Regional Court sentenced Yevgenia Gutsul, the head of the Gagauz Autonomous Region of Moldova, to seven years in prison and immediately executed it, accusing her of "funding the banned party 'Sor' within Moldova." Gutsul called the verdict "political persecution from above" and stated she would fight for her reputation and truth. She accused President Maia Sandu of using repression as a tool against dissidents.
