The 21 Decembrie Association, the Civic Alliance and the Students' League ask - by means of a letter sent to president Basescu and to the representatives of the European forums - for support in the files concerning the revolution and of the 1990 miners' race remaining in the custody of the military prosecutors. The signatories of the letter consider that the handing of those files to the civil parquets would delay for an illicitly long period the trial of the cases.
Chairman of the 21 Decembrie Association, Theodor Maries claimed, yesterday, in a press conference, that the transfer to various civil parquets and police sections of these files for a solution would seriously affect their finalizing in a short while. "In reality, all these maneuvers to repeatedly modify the criminal proceedings, by a direct legislative way or by the agency of the Constitutional Court, aim at ensuring the protection of some important political and military officials, who for 17 years have been avoiding investigations and being sued for the criminal deeds and the murders they had committed", said Maries.
In the opinion of the chairman of the 21 Decembrie Association, the Constitutional Court has "illicitly" postponed to pronounce over the complaints of "so-called" unconstitutionality of the standards by which it decided that the files left at the military parquets at the time the legislation was being modified should remain in the custody of the same institutions until investigations were over.
Maries appreciated that accepting those complaints would be an unforgivable and contemptuous act towards the victims, and also a provocation of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, as the supreme judiciary instance showed the mentioned provisions were constitutional.
Court, to pronounce today
The Court's prosecutors will make a decision today on the military prosecutor's objectivity, after the European Court for the Human Rights had decreed that military magistrates cannot be objective, whereas they are twice subordinated, once to the Ministry of Justice and the second time to the Ministry of Defence.
