Thousands of people are protesting in Chisinau to the result of parliamentary elections held Sunday, which placed communists in the lead with nearly 50%. People demand a recount and say the vote was rigged.

Twenty protesters were taken to the emergency hospital in the Moldovan capital and dozens of others needed medical attention, Moldovan news agency BASA-press reported, citing hospital manager Gheorghe Ciobanu.

Protesters also say a young woman was killed by police but authorities deny the existence of any victims or arrests, Deutsche Welle reported.

People destroyed the front door at the entrance of the Moldovan presidency and vandalized the first floor of the Parliament building.
