Lina Ciobanu (born 22 March 1929) was a Romanian communist politician.[1]
Ciobanu was born in Potcoava, a town in Olt County,[2] the daughter of Gheorghe Năstase and Maria, née Gheorghe. In 1946 she moved to Bucharest, where she worked at a printing house and then at a textile factory, and married Ion Ciobanu.[3] From 1957 to 1960 she was trained by the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) at the Ștefan Gheorghiu Academy and in 1965 she graduated from the Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies. In 1965 she became an alternate member of the Central Committee of the PCR, and from 1969 to 1989 she was a full member of the committee.[3]
In January 1990, right after the Romanian Revolution of December 1989, she was arrested.[4] In April 1992 she was sentenced to 16 years for complicity in aggravated murder[2] and to suppress the Revolution.[1] Shortly after, she suffered from a stroke;[1][2] in November 1996, she was pardoned by then-PresidentIon Iliescu, as he was about to leave office.[5]
