Constantin-Grigore Dumitrescu, also known as Constantin Ticu Dumitrescu or Ticu Dumitrescu (27 May 1928 – 5 December 2008), was a Romanian politician and president of the Association of Romanian Former Political Prisoners. He was noted as a leading figure in the anti-communist resistance in Romania[1] and for initiating the country's Uncovering the Securitate law.[2]

Background

Dumitrescu was born on May 27, 1928, in Ciumați (now Olarii Vechi), a village in Olari commune, Prahova County.[1] He studied law at the University of Bucharest, but was arrested by the Communist authorities in 1949 due to his political activities.[1] He then worked as a construction laborer[3] after he was rejected by Romanian universities when he attempted to go back to school.[1] Dumitrescu was incarcerated again in 1958 and was sentenced to 23-year forced labor on the charge of conspiring against the state.[1] He went through many prisons, including those in Шаблон:Ill, Târgșor, Brașov, Jilava, Шаблон:Ill, Galați, Botoșani, and Văcărești, and the forced labor camp at Poarta Albă, on the Danube–Black Sea Canal.[2] He was freed in 1964.

Dumitrescu became a member of the Christian Democratic National Peasants' Party and was elected to the Senate of Romania from 1992 to 2000.[1] During his tenure, he promoted laws that protect citizens against the persecutions of the Romanian secret police as well as the interests of political prisoners.[1] For instance, he drafted the legislation that opened the files of the Securitate, which included documents that contain information on people spying on citizens.[3]

Dumitrescu died December 5, 2008, in Bucharest due to liver cancer[3] and was buried in Olari.[4] A street in Arad has been named after him.[5]
