A 78 year-old man, who cursed at Iliescu and accused him of the death of his two sons in the Revolution, was picked up by security forces.

On Sunday, Iliescu was booed and cursed when he attended a similar ceremony at the cemetery in Bucharest where many victims of the revolution are buried.

Iliescu, a former communist, is largely blamed for the events in 1989 and the miners’ riots a year later.
