Promo-LEX: Mihail Ermurachi, the oldest political prisoner of the Tiraspol regime, was freed
Mihail Ermurachi, the 74-year-old pensioner accused of insulting the “president of the Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic (PMR) and Russian peacekeeping forces,” is free. This was announced by lawyer Vadim Vieru, program director of the Promo-LEX Association, on his Facebook page.

Mihail Ermurachi was the oldest political prisoner in the region. He was deprived of his liberty in 2023, punished for his publicly expressed opinions.
Vadim Vieru recalled that his persecution began in 2021, when a criminal case was filed against him for “inciting interethnic hatred," “insulting the president of the Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic” and “challenging the positive role of the peacekeeping mission under the leadership of the Russian Federation”.
In 2021, pensioner Mihail Ermurachi was illegally found guilty on only one count of the indictment, the alleged insult to Krasnoselski, when he called him a puppet in a private conversation. On the other two counts, the pensioner was acquitted.
We remind you that the release of political prisoners was one of the common conditions of the Chisinau Government and the European Union submitted to Tiraspol in the process of solving the gas crisis in the Transnistrian region.
