A new case was taken up through The Pro Bono Network for Human Rights. The request came from Botosani, from a gay man who was in a relationship with another man for several years. In 2020, the applicant ended the relationship and the ex-partner started threatening him and destroying his personal belongings. The ex-partner demanded a sum of money from the applicant for expenses, and the latter accepted and arranged a meeting with him to receive evidence and receipts to substantiate the amount. When he arrived at the meeting, the applicant was attacked by the ex-partner, who sprayed pepper spray into his eyes, and hit him with a bat. The recipient received 11-12 days of medical care. He filed a criminal complaint against his former partner but sought legal assistance to obtain a protection order and to manage the complaint and next steps.
The case was taken over by lawyer Smaranda Cristea (Iași Bar) whom we thank and wish a lot of success in solving the case!
