City authorities in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, should stop interfering with lesbian and gay rights demonstrations, Human Rights Watch said today. In a letter to Moldova's president, Human Rights Watch stated that both European and domestic laws guarantee freedom of assembly and freedom from discrimination for all. In April, Chisinau authorities banned a public march planned for later that month by the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights organization GenderDoc-M. The march was to be a part of the "All Different, All Equal Campaign" of the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
