Government surveillance in Romania: the case of whistle-blower Constantin Bucur

At a press conference in May 1996, Constantin Bucur publicly revealed allegations that the Romania authorities had been illicitly intercepting the phone calls of journalists, politicians and members of civil society. He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. After the European Court of Human Rights ruled in his favour and found a lack of protections against unjustified government surveillance, citizens still wait for effective reforms.
