LAW NO. 221/2009 ON CONVICTIONS WITH POLITICAL CHARACTER AND ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES RELATED, SENTENCED BETWEEN MARCH 6, 1945 AND DECEMBER 22, 1989.

Summary/Abstract: The Law no. 221/2009 was an act of historic reparation for former political prisoners. Both the legal environment and justice seekers have positively received those regulations which tended to restore not so much the former political prisoners, but the Romanian state itself in front of people who had suffered during the former communist regime and, to some extent, in front of the international public opinion. Following the publication of that law, courts of law have registered a remarkable number of applications requiring compensations, most of which were related to moral damage, cases which constitute the premises of this paper.
