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.

Greetings!!
I'm a U. Craiova's fan from Brazil. Here in South America is really hard to know about romanian football, so I'd like to thank you for this blog. This is the only way I can know what's going on after the banishment of the club.
I also ask you to keep refreshing the page as long as possible. I really want U. Craiova to be "Maxima" again.

Thank you so much and keep the great work!

Nice to hear about 'south American football here, too. We are waiting for our team to come back soon. The only way to bring joy ourselves is to see our favorite team in the field.
