Freedom for Pavel Grigorchuk!
We, the undersigned, urgently demand that the government of Moldova release civic activist Pavel Grigorchuk from preventive detention in Chisinau. Grigorchuk was arrested March 21 after leading an anti-corruption protest outside the Moldovan parliament.

According to Grigorchuck’s attorney, the activist, who suffers from asthma, is currently confined to the basement of jail PU-13, Building 3 (SIZO), in dangerously cold damp conditions that severely threaten his health. This blatant act of political retribution must be ended.
The prescribed punishment for slapping someone in public is a fine of 200 lei, or approximately 10 euros. But because Grigorchuk is a committed opponent of Moldova’s oligarch-dominated political regime, he has been targeted for political repression. In cooperation with media outlets owned by Vlad Plahotniuc, Deputy Syrbu has concocted a fairy tale version of events in which he supposedly suffered head trauma and a concussion from the slap and had to be hospitalized. Syrbu has not allowed any of these claims to be independently verified.
This is not the first time the authorities under Plahotniuc’s influence have targeted Grigorchuk. In 2014, he was arrested in the so-called “Antifascist Case,” where he and another activist were falsely charged with trying to disrupt the country’s elections. In September 2015, Grigorchuk along with several others were brutally attacked and arrested during a peaceful anti-oligarchy protest led by former MP Grigory Petrenko. The “Petrenko Group” were jailed for several months and only released after an international outcry – though the defendants still face serious restrictions on their right to travel and their political activity. Lead defendant Petrenko was forced to seek asylum in Germany. Their case is soon to be heard by the European Court of Human Rights.
All of this establishes a clear pattern of politically-motivated repression against Grigorchuk.
We demand:
- That Pavel Grigorchuk be immediately removed from the dangerous conditions at PU-13, Building 3, and given appropriate medical attention in a hospital;
- That Grigorchuk be released from preventive detention;
- Drop all charges against Girgorchuk stemming from the incident on March 21.
