Citizens speak out

Private citizens in Tiraspol, the capital of Pridnestrovie, take turns at the microphone to speak their piece during an outdoor protest demonstration in winter. Come hail, rain, show, these brave citizen-defenders of their nation's freedom do not stop from telling the world that they feel unfairly treated. They feel that there is a double standard at play and that their nation has not yet been given a fair hearing in international fora.
