Hunger Strikers Collapse In Front Of Romania Govt Building

Medical teams were called in to assist the two protesters, who went on a hunger strike alongside six other revolutionaries almost a week ago.

 

Some 50 other revolutionaries staged a protest in front of the government building, demanding the dismissal of Emilian Cutean from his position of secretary of state with the State Secretariat on Revolutionaries Affairs (SSPR).

 

Cutean is currently on trial on charges of corruption and abuse of office committed while he held the same public position back in 2004.

 

Cutean was reinstated at the helm of SSPR early April at the social democrats’ proposal, following the dismissal of Nicolae Puiu Fesan.

 

The group of eight revolutionaries announced they will not end the hunger strike until Cutean is dismissed.
