The “Parallel Justice” of the ex-Securitate
The “investigator” Clita had the ‘Diary of Gheorghe Ursu’ in his hands

Two witnesses in the “Ursu vs. Stanica group” trial stated yesterday at Bucharest’s Military Territorial Tribunal, that the ex-dissident Gheorghe Ursu, arrested and beaten to death in 1985, was tortured systematically, day and night, in his cell, by two torturers: Marian Clita and Gicutza Radu.
Witness Gheorghe Pascali – who claims that he was sentenced to death, sentence which was commuted later, for a fraud he had not committed -  says that he heard, over a period of 20 days, Gheorghe Ursu’s cries of pain.  Being in a cell next to Ursu’s, Pascali says that “Ursu was often beaten by Clita and Gicutza”, without any intervention from the guardians (and the witness gives a long list of names-nicknames: Munteanu or “Mother-in-law”, Cuzic, Ghelmez, “J.V.C.”, Burcea, etc.)
“One day,  being by mistake lead to the toilets at the same time as Ursu, he showed me signs of the beatings and blows in the abdomen, told me that he was urinating blood and that “these guys are killing me!”(…)  I drew the conclusion that all that was happening in his cell was a consequence of orders received from high ranking officers in the M.I. (Ministry of Internal Affairs).  
After the court hearing, Pascali stated to the newspaper Ev.Z. (Evenimentul Zilei) that he had forgotten to mention to the judges that he met Ursu once more, on the stairs, just as Ursu was returning beaten from yet another ‘investigation’ in the office of a Securitate officer named Vasile, and that what he had told to the court was “only 1 percent” of what he really knows.  The second important witness, Cristian Martin, also detained in 1985, in a cell adjacent to the one of Mr. Ursu, Clita and Gicutza, declared: “For at least 10 days or more, Ursu was beaten daily, until late at night, and two times during the night as well (…)”.

Arriving from the USA, whence he is traveling regularly for the court hearings, Andrei Ursu, the son of the dissident killed in 1985 in a Securitate jail under circumstances still unsolved, stated that those “writings” for which torturers Clita and Gicutza were “investigating” his father, were his very “Diary” confiscated by Securitate, which now SRI (the supposedly new and reformed Securitate) maintains either that is unable to find or that it cannot return until the trial is over.
