Brussels, December 10, 1993

We, participants of the Founding Congress of the Hands Off Cain Campaign, strongly protest against death sentence to Mr. Ilie Ilascu, passed yesterday in Tiraspol by the trial of so called Republic of Transnistria which was self-proclaimed on the territory of Moldova.

We insist on the abolishing of the death sentence against Ilie Ilascu, member of Christian Democratic People's Front of Moldova, passed on the accusation in "terrorist activity".

We also insist on the justice trial on the members of so called "Ilascu group" by the legal judicial authorities of the Republic of Moldova.
