These persons were among a group of at least 25 who were arrested on 14 June by ANSP and the police for alleged activities in support of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea. According to ANSP, some of the prisoners, including Ahn Jab-ku, were accused of forming an underground branch of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) and were said to have established in January 1993 a group called the National Front for Salvation of the Fatherland. Some of the other prisoners were accused of forming a group called the Korean Democratic Nationalistic Front. Those groups were said to support the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea. The prisoners were reportedly being held for interrogation under the National Security Law. 602.

Andrei Tanase Zanopol was arrested without a warrant on 27 June 1993 near his home in Mazepa, Galati, by two police officers. He was allegedly tied with wire to an iron bar at the entrance to a building and beaten severely by the two officers in front of witnesses. He was then taken to the police station where the beating reportedly continued. On 1 July his lawyer reported that Mr. Zanopol’s testicles were swollen, one arm appeared to be in a cast and there were bruises all over his body and on his face. It was also reported that Mr. Zanopol had received medical treatment from a doctor who refused to give him a certificate describing his injuries. 605. The Government replied that Camelia Zanopol had filed a complaint in 1993 to the Ias ¸i military prosecutor’s office, which found that Andrei Zanopol had not been beaten by the police and ordered no penal proceedings against the officers. The military prosecution section of the General Prosecutor’s Office, however, re-examined the case on 14 April 1994 and determined that the previous decision was illegal and without grounds and ordered that criminal proceedings be undertaken against the officers and that all the relevant evidence be produced.
