INDICTMENT The General Prosecutor’s Office in Romania on Thursday made
\npublic the indictment prepared by the military prosecutors, under which 16
\ngendarme officers and non-commissioned officers had been indicted for their
\nintervention in the anti-government meeting on August 10th 2018 in
\nBucharest. The Document shows the forceful intervention of the gendarmes
\nagainst the peaceful protesters was illegal and unjustified. At the same time,
\nthe use by the gendarme troops of rubber sticks, pepper sprays, shields and
\nother non-lethal weapons like stunt grenades and tear gas could be considered inhuman
\nand degrading treatment. According to the document, there were clashes between
\nthe gendarmes and protesters in which the former were wounded but the situation
\non the ground did not justify a forceful intervention against the larger mass
\nof peaceful protesters, which included women, children and older people. We
\nrecall that the General Prosecutor’s Office has brought to court high-ranking officers
\nof the Gendarme troops that time for forgery and abusive conduct. <\/p>\n
