GDS considers that the decision of the Supreme Court to acquit Gheorghe Ursu’s torturers is the most radical judicial form of rehabilitating the communist totalitarianism
The Group for Social Dialogue (GDS) considers that the decision of the Supreme Court to acquit Gheorghe Ursu’s torturers is the most radical judicial form of rehabilitating the communist totalitarianism after the Revolution. This way, the organization says, the trust in a justice that can see the clear nature of a totalitarian regime and that can adequately punish the specific oppression is compromised. To better understand the moral filth of the decision we have to imagine the outraged horror the entire world would have felt had the Nuremberg judges acquitted the nazi officers, said GDS. Yesterday, the Supreme Court acquitted the former security officers Marin Pârvulescu and Vasile Hodiş of the accusation of inhumane treatment, arguing that the dissident Gheorghe Rusu was not an opponent of the Communist regime and that, furthermore, the so called oppressing and intimidation actions used by the Securitate are still being used today, in criminal investigations.
