I am signing this petition out of concern for the fate of Oleg Sivitski, a Norwegian gay man.
Oleg Sivitski has been held in a Moldovan prison for 12 years in a case that was fabricated against him by the government in order to demonstrate the fight against human trafficking in Moldova, and receive European and American grants to create the appearance of the government's further "successful" activities in addressing human trafficking.
Having arrested and convicted an Italian citizen and a Norwegian citizen, the Moldovan authorities reported this to the international community, misleading it.
The Italian man was soon able to be transferred to Italy. Oleg Sivitski did not seek an appeal with the European Court of Human Rights but sought to leave Moldova as soon as possible, the country that had treated him so shamelessly and unfairly and to be transferred to Norway.
However, Moldova only allows citizens of those countries whose legislation is similar to Moldovan legislation or those of more severe sentences to be transferred to their homeland to serve their sentences. Moldova will not send these prisoners to countries with more humane legislation.
This is contrary to the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, which provides for situations
where the laws in the country of conviction and in the country of extradition are different.
Moldova is a homophobic country!
Without a doubt, sexual orientation in this case was an aggravating factor in the fabricated and unjust case against Oleg. The punitive system in Moldovan justice, was inherited from the Soviet Era, and is aimed at making a person suffer and suffer for as long as possible.
In itself, the deprivation of liberty is not considered in Moldova as sufficient punishment.
Meanwhile, the Convention was created precisely for reasons of inhuman treatment!
The main purpose of the Convention on transfer of sentenced persons is to enable the prisoner to serve
the prison sentence in the country which is his or her main place of residence and/or where his or her
family members are located. The Convention also seeks to remove the difficulties arising for the
prisoner serving a prison sentence in a foreign country and thus creating an opportunity for rehabilitation in his or her home country.
Oleg has no relatives in Moldova but has a sister who lives in Norway.
Oleg has a disease that is recognized by Norwegian medicine, but is not recognized by the doctors in Moldova.
Sometimes he has to walk for 16 - 18 hours with a full bladder, this is real torture!
Due to his sexual orientation, he is treated with extreme discrimination and in a hierarchal prison
system he is in the lowest category of prisoners.
Oleg experiences great physical and mental persecution! In the lowest category of prisoners, he suffers persecution and discrimination: in hygiene,
in access to medical and dental care, he must walk clinging to the wall, he cannot speak about his conditions or give his own opinion about anything.
For example, he receives death threats not because of his crime, but because he is against the war in Ukraine, as there are Russian prisoners who rule in the Moldovan prison system.
Oleg has been deprived of his right to justice, his fate is actually in the hands of one person, the chief of the "International legal Cooperation Division" by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Moldova, who alone makes the decision, although earlier this was the purview of the court. Oleg was also deprived of the opportunity to reduce the term of his sentence in compensation for inhuman treatment and conditions of detention, beside this, he was also deprived of the right to a pardon.
We call on Moldova to prove it is a humanitarian state and to demonstrate that Moldova is worthy of its recent EU candidate status and allow Oleg Sivitski to be transferred to gay friendly Norway, which will save him from suffering and discrimination.
