Cezar Maroti links to an iReport post on the post-election protests in Moldova and writes on Twitter: “Large protest organized via Twitter, Y! messenger, Facebook. 15.000 young people protested in Chisinau, Moldova against the election fraud.” Also, this: “In Moldova apparently almost 200.000 dead people voted for the Communists. The protesters were right to declare today a mourning day.” (via stefanionescu, via petro_rondiak)
