Protesters March In Bucharest Over Slow Response By Police To Teen's Kidnapping, Murder

Thousands of Romanians protested on July 27 against the slow response by police to the plight of a teenager who was kidnapped and eventually killed. The protesters marched in central Bucharest amid public outrage caused by reports that the police neglected emergency calls made by the 15-year-old girl before she was slain. A day before the rally, Romania's interior minister dismissed the national police chief over the case.
