SEMNAŢI PETIŢIA ÎN LIMBA ENGLEZĂ PENTRU SALVAREA LUI MĂRIEŞ ŞI A COLEGILOR LUI:
“Save the life of hunger strike protestors!”
Antropologul Alin Rus, membru de onoare al Asociatiei 21 Decembrie 1989, profesor la Worcester University din Statele Unite, a publicat acum trei ore o petiţie pentru salvarea vieţii lui Teodor Mărieş care se află în a 88-a zi de grevă a foamei pentru adoptarea Legii lustraţiei, a Legii imprescriptibilităţii crimelor împotriva umanităţii şi a Legii recunoştinţei faţă de eroii revoluţiei anticomuniste.
Solidari cu Teodor Mărieş, trei colegi ai acestuia se află de asemenea în greva foamei: Vlad Ciobanu (vicepreşedintele Asociaţiei 21 Decembrie 1989, 67 de zile de greva foamei), Firimiţă Marian (54 de zile de greva foamei) şi Savin Eugeniu (51 zile de greva foamei).
Iată petiţia:
Save the life of hunger strike protestors!
Petitioning:
Romanian Parliament, Romanian president
Created By: Alin Rus, Worcester, MA
Why This Is Important
Teodor Maries started his hunger strike protest almost three months ago. The purpose of his protest has been to convince the members of the Romanian Parliament to adopt three laws: The Law of Imprescriptibility of the Crimes Against Humanity committed during Communist Dictatorship and during the days of December 1989 Romanian Revolution, The Law of Gratitude toward the victims (and children of the victims) of 1989 Romanian Revolution and The Law of Lustration (this is a law that regulates the participation of ex-leaders of the Communist dictatorship, especially informants of the communist secret police in the successor political appointee positions or in civil service positions in the period after the fall of Communist Dictatorship). The adoption of all these laws is absolutely necessary for a correct functioning of the democracy and the democratic institutions in Romania.
The Law of Imprescriptibility of the Crimes Against Humanity Committed during Dictatorship and during the days of December 1989 Romanian Revolution was considered constitutional by the European Court of Human Rights, which recommended the Romanian Parliament to promulgate this law immediately. Inexplicably, the promulgation of this law is indefinitely postponed by the Romanian Parliament. More than that, the protest of Teodor Maries is totally ignored by the political leaders who are now in power. All the members of 21 December 1989 Civic Association are afraid that Teodor Maries can die at any moment.
With this petition, I am turning to you asking one single thing: save the life of Teodor Maries (88 days of hunger strike) and three other members of 21 December Civic Association who are protesting together with him: Vlad Ciobanu (vice-president of 21 Decembrie 1989 Association, 67 days of hunger strike), Firimita Marian (54 days of hunger strike) and Savin Eugeniu (51 days of hunger strike). We hope that a strong international support for these men, who decided to use this extreme form of protest, will convince the Romanian political leaders to start the negotiations with the leaders of 21 December Association immediately in order to save their life.
