Guilty
A
Bucharest court found two communist-era police officers guilty yesterday
in the 1985 killing of a dissident imprisoned for writing critically about
former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. The court sentenced the two to 22-year
prison terms each after finding them guilty of the murder of dissident
Gheorghe Ursu, a writer and engineer arrested for his anti-communist views
and writings critical of the Ceausescu regime. The two, Col. Tudor Stanica
and Col. Mihai Creanga, will only have to serve 11 years in prison due
to a 1998 amnesty which halved sentences for all crimes committed before
that year. (AP)
