Varvara Zingan, who has protested in Chisinau against her son's detention for two years and nine months, asks Acting President Mihai Ghimpu for a meeting. She said she has submitted 12 complaints and applications to him, but received no answer. The first letter was sent on October 15, 2009, the woman said in a news conference held at Info-Prim Neo. Varvara Zingan's son Vitalie Zingan was sentenced to 12 years in jail for murder. The woman says the evidence against her son was fabricated. So far, she has protested in front of the Presidential Office, the Parliament Building and the Prosecutor General's Office, asking that the case against her son be closed. Varvara Zingan complained that neither former President Vladimir Voronin nor former Head of Parliament Marian Lupu wanted to listen to her grievances. She met Mihai Ghimpu accidentally and asked him to listen to her, but he told her to discuss with his adviser Sergiu Moraru. “When talking with this adviser, I realized he was involved and was unwilling to listen to me. He accepted a meeting with me only because Ghimpu instructed him. He said he was in a hurry and will examine my complaint later,” Varvara Zingan told the news conference. The woman said her son, who is held in the penitentiary in Pruncul, has taken pills prescribed by a private neurologist for two years. But the drug has side effects, including mental exhaustion. “Because of Voronin, the prosecutors and investigators and all those who fabricated the case, my son was imprisoned and is transformed into a monster,” Varvara Zingan said. She stated she has conclusive proofs that her son is not guilty of the offense for which he was sentenced and can prove it if Mihai Ghimpu accepts to meet her. Varvara Zingan also said that she will protest in front of the Prosecutor General's Office until her son is set free. Vitalie Zingan was jailed in 2007. Earlier, the Prosecutor General's Office issued a communique, saying that the Supreme Court of Justice sentenced Vitalie Zingan to 12 years behind bars for deliberate murder in July 2007. In 2001, Vitalie Zingan and another four persons attacked three men with baseball bats as the local farmers refused to pay the annual tribute of US$5,000. One of the three farmers died as a result of his injuries. The others received minor injuries and managed to escape, it was said in the communique. Varvara Zingan related that a quarrel started nine years ago in front of a bar in Butor village. Her son was at that place. The father of one of the young men involved in the argument came with a gun. He was accompanied by a relative who suffered a backbone fracture in the struggle and died in the hospital the next day. Vitalie Zingan was accused of murdering the man. The woman is convinced that the case was fabricated at the insistence of the man who came then with the gun.
