Together Against Torture!!! it was a campaign that took place during June 2009. Several organizations like Amnesty International Moldova, RCTV Memoria, IDOM, PromoLex, CREDO organized different public actions for supporting victims of torture all over the world, including Moldova.
There was a press conference were these NGO's presented their goals and motivation for this campaign.
There was another presentation of Amnesty International position, which was a mini report on April events.
There were three public actions for collecting signatures in Balti, Cahul and Comrat. In Cahul there was also a protest against Torture. But in Chisinau we made usual public action and collected over 1000 signatures on small petitions and over 500 on the big 4 petitions for Moldovan authorities.
There was also organized a round table for Implementation of UN CAT and OP CAT by RCTV Memoria. There were invited representatives from NGO's, lawyers, Minister of Interior, Department of Penitentiary Institutions and Prosecution. The public authorities as usual didn't want to recognize cases of torture. But we have hundreds of people we are claiming they were tortured during the April events.
The final event, was a public protest of these NGO's. We had several petitions that we gave to the prosecution and MIA. Here you can watch the video.
