2002 Moldovan protests

The 2002 Moldovan protests were a series of mass protests and growing street opposition demonstrations against the socialist regime and the opposition's ban in elections in Moldova. However, initial protests first began after the government banned Russian and Latin languages in Moldova, triggering strikes and popular demonstrations across Chișinău and other major cities nationwide. Protests also occurred in 2001, when angry pro-communist protests occurred. In 2002, 11 weeks of medical students, teachers and students protests have been occurring, with flags and banners waved by demonstrators, who waged occupations, bloodless disturbances and nonviolent boycotts. Peaceful rallies, picketing, roadblocks, lobbying and marches also took place on small lanes and massive roads. After months of opposition protests, the protests ceased after the government proposed it will withdraw the plan. In November 2003, Transnistria experienced anti-government and pro-Russia protests yet separatist demonstrations occurred. The protests remained peaceful and nonviolent.[1][2]
