The court is choosing a measure of restraint for the temporarily detained ex-president of Moldova, Igor Dodon; his supporters and opponents gathered under the building, and the media complain about problems with access to the courtroom.

This is reported by Newsmaker.

Prosecutors require arrest for 30 days. The lawyer of the ex-president said that he is almost certain that Dodon will be arrested.

A group of Dodon's admirers has gathered outside the courthouse in Cecani, a district of Chisinau, and those who, on the contrary, demand his arrest. The former are chanting "Freedom to Dodon!" and calling for the resignation of the government and President Maia Sandu.

A reporter said that the media were not allowed beyond the lobby, explaining this by the rules of the court, and threatened to "blacklist and deny access to the session".

After 11 o'clock, the session was adjourned because the prosecutor presented new evidence in support of the motion for arrest. Dodon said that he "has three statements to the press" and began to say that the case was fabricated, the convoy did not allow him to speak further. The hearing is to continue.
