We are deeply concerned about the instable situation in Transnistria, a separatist region of the Moldova Republic, and would like to red flag the ethnic cleansing being carried out by the Tiraspol authorities against the local Romanian population.
The gravity of this particular situation is highlighted by the fact that local authorities are acting against orphaned children whose only sin is having Romanian blood running though their veins
The STOP - ETHNIC cleansing in Transnistria Petition to UN Security Council, ONU, Human Rights Organizations, E.U., White House, U.S. Congress was created by The World Romanian Council and written by Mircea Popescu (popescu@pcmagic.net).
According to the census in 1989, the population in Transnistria was 39,9% Romanian (Moldovan), 28,3% Ukrainian, 25,4% Russian, 1,9% Bulgarian.
On 2 September 1990 the Moldovan Republic of Transnistria was proclaimed.
Transnistria retaliated by a series of actions meant to destabilize the economic situation in Moldova, in particular, by cutting the power supply from the power plants that were built predominantly in Transnistria in Soviet times.
