Summary/Abstract: In the following material, I have set out to reveal several atrocities committed by the Hungarian revolutionaries against the Transylvanians Romanians during the events of the Revolution of 1848-49 in Transylvania. I have discovered in the Transylvania magazine a list of 28 individuals executed in Cluj-Napoca who were sentenced by the so-called ’’blood trial’’. On this list one may find the names of youth who had occupied representative positions during the Revolution of 1848-49, after the third meeting at Blaj, as well as the prefect Alexandru Bătrâneanu, the vice-prefect Vasile Simonis and the tribune Vasile Turcu. Al the individuals whose names appear on Seleuşianu’s list were killed in Cluj-Napoca between October 1848 and May 1849.
