Reactions and protests >>> Press releases >>> Swedish justice could not be mislead; MISA demands actions against the ones responsible for the abuses and persecutions
Bucharest, 22 October 2005: MISA joyfully greets the fair and objective decision of the Swedish Justice, represented by the Supreme Court of Justice of Stockholm, the highest of this country, which declined the request for the extradition of Gregorian Bivolaru and released him.
Hopefully this will bring to light the unjust oppression against this yoga school displayed at a political order of the former prime minister and leader of the PSD (Romanian Social Democratic Party) Adrian Nastase. The latter has acted through Ilie Botos, the general prosecutor and started a discriminating campaign of calumny in media. Also the prosecutors who obeyed the political orders of Adrian Nastase got involved in lots of illegal, abusive actions meant to destroy this yoga school and imprison its spiritual mentor, Gregorian Bivolaru, despite his innocence. The decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of Sweden on grounds of existing evidence and testimonies points out that this whole framing of the Romanian authorities couldn’t deceive the Swedish justice. We hope that the decision of the Swedish Justice will draw the attention of the authorities, of the government and of the Romanian Minister of Justice Monica Macovei – who will start off investigating all those responsible for the abusive, illegal actions of 2004 and 2005 and finally the unjust oppression and setups against our yoga school will stop.
On March 30, 2004 MISA Yoga School started a series of protests against authorities' abuses and persecutions.
