The UN commented on the verdict against the Hutsul

The verdict against the head of Gagauzia Evgenia Hutsul, accused of allegedly financing the opposition party "Shor", is an internal matter of Moldova. This was announced on August 5 at a briefing by Deputy Official Representative of the UN Secretary-General Farhan Haq.

"I believe that this is a matter of the internal judicial system," TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier that day, Hutsul was sentenced to seven years in prison in the case of financing the Shor party. A protest rally was held in front of the courthouse in support of her. The head of Gagauzia expressed great support from the people of the autonomy and urged "not to give up."
