Réunissant 42 procureurs venus de chaque département de Roumanie, 42 policiers ainsi que les représentants de l’autorité nationale pour la protection des droits de l’enfant et de l’adoption (ANPDCA) , le séminaire à marqué la création d’un réseau de procureurs roumain spécialisés en matière de traitement des affaires familiales et de protection de l’enfance. La nécessité de spécialisation des procureurs et des policiers en la matière a été au cœur des échanges entre participants.

Les travaux du séminaire ont été ouverts par M. Augustin Lazar, procureur général près la haute cour de cassation et de Justice de Roumanie, par Mme Michèle Ramis, Ambassadrice de France en Roumanie et par M. Bogdan Simion, président de la fédération des organisations non gouvernementales pour l’enfant.

The RTI activist along with the maternal aunt of one of the inmates, courted controversy as the two kept the children in their custody instead of informing the police who traced them late in the evening on September 12.

Less than a week after five minor inmates, including two girls, fled from SOS children’s village at Rajpura of Patiala district, police on Sunday booked an RTI activist, said to be the whistleblower in the case, for allegedly misbehaving with and pressurising the district child protection department officials.

After fleeing the shelter home, the inmates had alleged ill-treatment, including sexual abuse, only to retract their statements a day later before the district child protection officer.

The RTI activist, Akash Verma, along with the maternal aunt of one of the inmates, courted controversy as the two kept the children in their custody instead of informing the police who traced them late in the evening on September 12.

Patiala senior superintendent of police (SSP) Mandeep Singh Sidhu said the case was registered against Akash under Sections 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the complaint of district child protection officer Harpreet Kaur Sandhu.
