Abuses made upon Gregorian Bivolaru and the M.I.S.A.

By flagrantly and arrogantly defying all the inner and international law, starting with Thursday, March 18th 2004 more than 100 yoga practitioners have been subject to a violent and terrifying attack, unprecedented in the "post communist" Romania, and to a totally inhuman and degrading treatment. They acted against these persons by means of an impressive display of forces, guided and coordinated by the still extremely powerful actives of Ceausescu's Security. With its proportions and the way the state institutions and mass media "collaborated", this action would have been worth being directed against the real corruption in Romania in order to stop the mega-swindles that have undermined the national economy during the last 15 years and that have been so affably tolerated by the governing party. Effectives of more than 300 "law" representatives (prosecutors, gendarmes, intervention police forces, camouflaged persons with fire arms) entered by force, without any summons, 16 buildings that are private properties of some yoga practitioners. Some of them were briefly shown some search warrant, others were simply told nothing. The accusations were extremely odd and the words used in the search warrant signed by the judge Lia Savonea, president of the 1st Penal Department of the Bucharest Court, were ambiguous and suspiciously permissive: "informative data, data regarding users, data regarding international traffic". What do informative data mean, who and what are the users, what kind of international traffic? Some search warrants mentioned other aspects or had a blank space besides the column: "grounds for the search". All these actions were shot in detail and let out/furnished in the same day to all the TV stations and newspapers, which transmitted them promptly, together with instigating and incriminating comments, as if the filmed persons had already been irrevocably sentenced for having committed very dangerous offences against the law.
