Additional information:

The phone harassment targeting journalist Mihail Sirkeli continued on April 4. When he answered one of the calls received via Viber, a robotic voice on the other end said, 'Your car is parked, now it's fucked.' Sirkeli believes this intimidation is connected to a Facebook post he made in support of a Ziarul de Gardă journalist who had been threatened by Irina Vlah, president of the Republican Party 'Heart of Moldova'.
