24th March 2012 - Sad Day For Craiova's Fans

47 fans were arrested after a meeting in Bucharest. Universitatea Craiova's fans went in Bucharest to protest against abusive expulsion of their football team. It was a well planed protest, Romanian authorities were previously informed about it 30 days before it happened.

Universitatea Craiova's 250 supporters peacefully protested for 1 hour. Romanian military police ,Jandarmeria, decided to brutally repress this street movement only one hour after start. They chased and molested people on the streets, arrested as many as they could without any reason. Romanian military policemen just used their force to repress the protest.
Actually every person who had a white-blue scarf was pushed in the military vehicles to be carried in a police station. The protesters get financial penalties there, they were photographed and their finger prints were recorded. There are several testifiers who claimed people were kicked and beaten inside of these military vehicles during the road to the police station.

Romania can say "Farewell democracy!" in such conditions.

FIFA Disposition Ignored By FRF

Although Mircea Sandu, Dumitru Dragomir and their staff knew about FIFA disposition they hid this fact both clubs and members of the Executive Committee.

FIFA specifically asked that the provisions of art. 9.2 and 18.2 of the FRF (Romanian Football Federation) Statute related about expulsion of a club to be removed because they are illegal and contrary to FIFA statutes. The General Association is the only organism which may exclude a member. This FIFA request was formulated in January 2011. After six months Universitatea Craiova was excluded by FRF's Executive Comitee.

The essay is signed by FIFA and FIFA's legal director Marco Villiger.
