Moldova's riot: The 4th day - 09.April.2009 Updates

09.Apr.2009 - 4:00 AM Update 1. After a check on Twittergrid it seems that tomorrow will be again a busy day for Modovan revolutionists. More will be found out in a few hours at early time in the morning. The moldavian youth joined by romanians, can be found talking Here (twittergrid, hashtag #pman).
Update 2. The moldavian uprising seems to fade away in the 4th day, at 10:30 AM there was silent atmosphere at "PMAN", only a few TV camera teams being present in the area; by 12:00 hrs, 200 were protesting in front of Presidency before heading to Chisinau Main Square ("pman"). Meanwhile a group of students were picked up from their classes and taken away, again to an unknown location and from now on there will be repeated typical pattern actions clearly used by communists before 1990's (Security involvement, etc.). Unfortunately tough times will come for Moldavians, but the only positive thing is that the oppression is always the end of communists (they do not know how to deal these situations without arrestments and persecutions).

- One of the frontpage title of the StireaZilei Journal is called "Terror in Chisinau - Beaten journalists, kidnapped people and missing children" and indeed this is confirmed also by the following images courtesy of Hotnews.md

EU, CNN, BBC, Eurorews reaction??? None!!! If these events happened somewhere else, all the international media would become very noisy. At these moments they broadcast news like ciclism, banking system in England, elections in Algeria and (weird) even about peaceful protests from Georgia but... nothing related to agitated "north corean type events" from Moldova???
Here one of the BBC news: "Tens of thousands of opposition supporters in Georgia have been taking part in protests calling for the resignation of President Mikhail Saakashvili." - coincidentally pretty similar demands in Georgia but there do not occur violent actions as in Moldova.
- on Twitter spreads the news that tomorrow (10.Apr.2009) there will be organized two legitimate protests in Chisinau, one of them at the public national television but the authorities (also opposition warn population that is a set-up)
- in General meetings might be so dangerous that different newspapers published some important advises for protesters as follows:
1) people should walk in huge packs, not individual, 2) keep contact with someone out of conflict zone, 3) do not talk to unknown persons, 4) avoid head shaved persons especially if speaking russian, 5) use the main boulevards, avoid narrow and dark streets, 6) do not hesitate to shout when in danger,,, the noise helps, 7) take care at night, people are easily kidnapped, 8) do not talk about protests when travelling by public transport, 9) if you are part of a Facebook group, just increase the privacy profile level and eventually remove your pictures.
