Romania’s Military Prosecutor’s Office has indicted former head of state Ion Iliescu on charges of crimes against humanity in the case of using miners for quashing an anti-government demonstration in Bucharest in June 1990.
Other former senior officials are also being investigated in relation to the case, including former PM Petre Roman and Deputy PM Gelu Voican-Voiculescu. Some of them have already been indicted.
