SERBIAN GOVERNMENT GIVES GUARANTEES FOR MILUTINOVIC
BELGRADE, Jan. 22 (Beta) - Yugoslavia's Embassy in The Hague has
delivered government guarantees for the temporary release of former
Serbian president Milan Milutinovic, to The Hague war crimes tribunal.
Milutinovic, who is accused of war crimes in Kosovo, has been in The
Hague detention unit since Jan. 20.
In a letter addressed to the chief prosecutor, Carla del
Ponte, and the trial chamber, Djindjic says that after the breakdown of
the Milosevic regime in October 2000, Milutinovic "continued to perform
the office of Serbian president in line with the Constitution and the
law" "thus contributing to the stability in Serbia" and that he stepped
down from his post as soon as his mandate terminated.
In a separate document signed by vicepremier Nebojsa Covic,
the Serbian government gives guarantees that in case Milutinovic is
temporarily released and allowed to stay in the country pending trial,
it will "respect all the trial chamber's orders" so that Milutinovic
"can appear before the tribunal at the court's order, at any time."

Serb arrest 'will unlock U.S. aid'
BELGRADE, Serbia and Montenegro --The arrest of a top
war crimes suspect in the teeth of violent protests in
Serbia and Montenegro, which injured more than 50
police, will unlock vital U.S. economic aid next week,
Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic said.
The capture of ex-army colonel Veselin Sljivancanin
from a Belgrade apartment, after hours of clashes
between riot police and hundreds of stone-throwing
protesters, would relieve international pressure on
the country, he added.
Hardline nationalists believe Serbs sent to the U.N.
war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, are
being sacrificed to "victor's justice" in return for
aid money.
Police under orders to show restraint were pelted with
bottles and missiles during the lengthy arrest
operation.
Serbian Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic said more
than 50 officers were injured, one of whom was still
in hospital.
"The police did not want to put anyone's life on the
line," he told B92 radio. Riot squads sheltered behind
plastic shields without responding until the attacks
became more violent, then counter-charged with tear
gas and stun grenades.
When police arrived at his apartment, to which he had
apparently returned to celebrate his 50th birthday,
they were met by several hundred supporters of the
fugitive.
The hardliners, who regard Sljivancanin as a hero for
his part in Croatia's 1991-95 independence war that
led to the breakup of Yugoslavia, threw stones and set
fires to halt the march of the police.
Police commando squads began battering down the
armored door of Sljivancanin's flat shortly before
midnight. He had threatened to blow himself up rather
than hand himself over to international justice,
Reuters reported, but his wife later said he had
"surrendered voluntarily."
Sljivancanin was indicted in 1995 by the United
Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands
for the alleged massacre of 200 people in Croatia in
1991. He had been on the run since former Serbian
President Slobodan Milosevic was ousted in October
2000.
The arrest came after Washington last week urged
Belgrade to detain him so it could certify to Congress
on June 15 that the country was cooperating with
international justice, thereby unlocking $110 million
in much-needed aid for 2003.
"At this moment we can be absolutely certain that the
issue of the certification of U.S. aid is no longer a
problem," Svilanovic told local media.
His arrest would not only ease relations with former
foe Croatia but improve Belgrade's standing with the
United States, the European Union and NATO, the
alliance which bombed Yugoslavia over Kosovo in 1999,
the minister said.
Sljivancanin's two co-accused in the Vukovar massacre
-- one of the most notorious crimes of Croatia's
independence war -- are already in detention at The
Hague awaiting trial.
His transfer will be the fourth from Serbia to the
tribunal since May, highlighting Belgrade's
determination to face down hardliners in the three
months since reformist Serbian Prime Minister Zoran
Djindjic was assassinated on March 12.
"It seems that where there is a will there is a way,"
tribunal prosecution spokeswoman Florence Hartmann
said. "He was under an arrest warrant for almost eight
years. It is important for us to have him now."
Former Bosnian Serb president Radovan Karadzic and
army commander Ratko Mladic are the two remaining top
fugitives still at large, their whereabouts unclear.

Arrest carried out ahead of Powell's certification, news agencies
13:01 BELGRADE , June 13 (Tanjug) - The arrest of
former Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) Col. Veselin
Sljivancanin represents an answer to the US demand
that he be taken into custody and handed over to The
Hague tribunal, so that Washington could approve
further aid to Serbia, Reuters said on Friday, quoting a
senior official of the Serbian Interior Ministry.
He was arrested two days before the certification of
US Secretary of State Colin Powell, i.e. possible
approval at the US Congress that "Belgrade is
cooperating with the tribunal," which, according to
the news agency, was "a step essential for the release
of further economic aid worth a total of 110 million
dollars."

US LAWYERS BARRED FROM DEFENDING INDICTEES IN THE HAGUE
THE HAGUE, June 19 (Tanjug) - US President George Bush has
issued an order according to which US lawyers are barred from
representing before the Tribunal in The Hague war crimes suspects from
the territory of the former Yugoslavia, the Tribunal in The Hague
said on Wednesday.
AP news agency has reported that this executive order of the
US Administration, dated May 29 this year, and which was made public
on the US government website only on Wednesday, suspends support for
over 200 individuals and organizations of the former Yugoslavia who
are on the US black list and bans the extension of services and funds
to such persons, including legal representation.
On that list are all the accused in the trial of Slobodan
Milosevic, as well as his entire family. Some 20 US lawyers are
defending war crimes suspects before the Tribunal in The Hague, a
court that has the political and finacial support of the United States.

U.S. Ban on U.S. Lawyers Derails Case
By KATARINA KRATOVAC
The Associated Press - June 19, 2003
THE HAGUE, Netherlands - A U.S. government ban on
American lawyers defending war crimes suspects
derailed a second case at the Yugoslav tribunal
Thursday.
John Ackerman and David Cunningham said in court they
could no longer represent Radoslav Brdjanin without
fear of U.S. prosecution. The judge said he had no
alternative but to adjourn the trial.
The ban, part of a U.S. executive order to cut off
support to about 200 people and organizations from the
former Yugoslavia blacklisted by the U.S. government,
was made public in a document released by the court on
Wednesday.
It outlaws providing goods, services and funds to
those people, including legal representation, U.S.
Treasury Officials said. But lawyers can apply
separately for permission to represent Balkan war
crimes suspects, they said.
Brdjanin, who has pleaded innocent to 12 counts of war
crimes, said in court he would "be devastated" if his
American lawyers were not allowed to continue. "It
would be disastrous for me," he said.
Presiding judge Carmel Agius said the inclusion of
lawyers in the ban was probably a "misinterpretation"
by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Tribunal spokesman Jim Landale said the court was in
contact with the U.S. government and hoped "a solution
will be worked out shortly."
About 20 American lawyers are defending suspects at
the U.N. tribunal, established in 1993 by the U.N.
Security Council to prosecute individuals responsible
for war crimes during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
Many of the people listed are indicted war crimes
suspects and some are already on trial at the U.N.
court, including former Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic.
In a document made public Wednesday, three American
lawyers requested an immediate suspension of the case
against Bosnian Croat Gen. Tihomir Blaskic, saying the
Treasury Department had told them they could be
prosecuted for representing him.

Terrorizing Serbs

UN court grants early release for Bosnian Muslim
jailed for terrorising Serbs
THE HAGUE, July 9 (AFP) - The UN war crimes court on
Wednesday agreed to an early release for Bosnian Croat
Zdravo Mucic, who was sentenced to nine years in
prison in April for running a camp in central Bosnia
where Serbs were terrorised by their Muslim and Croat
jailers.
The president of the International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Judge Theodor Meron,
"granted Zdravo Mucic's request for early release,
effective July 18," the court said in a statement.
Mucic has been in tribunal custody since March 18,
1996. He has effectively served two-thirds of his
sentence, the judge said.
Mucic has been in the court's detention centre all
this time. Usually convicted war criminals are
transferred to other countries to serve their time and
can request early release under the rules of the
country that is detaining them.
With Mucic, judge Meron ruled that eligibility for
early release in the nine states that have agreed to
take in ICTY convicts starts at two-thirds of the
sentence served and this should apply in this case as
well.
In April the appeals court ruled that Mucic as
commander of the Celebici camp bore some
responsibility for the murder, cruel treatment and
torture committed by his staff.
The camp was set up by joint Bosnian Muslim-Croat
forces in 1992 in the riverside village of Celebici,
near the town of Konjic in central Bosnia.
Several dozen Bosnian Serb civilians from the Konjic
area were detained there in 1992.
Two of Mucic's subordinates were sentenced to 18 and
15 years in prison for "killing, torturing, sexually
assaulting, beating and otherwise subjecting detainees
in that camp to cruel and inhumane treatment".
The judges said that in an interview in June Mucic
"acknowledged that the conditions at the Celebici
prison camp were appalling and expressed his respect,
and gratitude ... for the judicial process".
Mucic is the sixth person convicted by the ICTY to
have been released after serving a sentence. Eleven
people are currently serving jail terms in countries
that have agreed to take in ICTY convicts. Three
people convicted by the UN court are still waiting to
be transferred to serve their sentence.

Sljivancanin represents an answer to the US demand
that he be taken into custody and handed over to The
Hague tribunal, so that Washington could approve
further aid to Serbia, Reuters said on Friday, quoting a
senior official of the Serbian Interior Ministry.
He was arrested two days before the certification of
US Secretary of State Colin Powell, i.e. possible
approval at the US Congress that "Belgrade is
cooperating with the tribunal," which, according to
the news agency, was "a step essential for the release
of further economic aid worth a total of 110 million
dollars."

US LAWYERS BARRED FROM DEFENDING INDICTEES IN THE HAGUE
THE HAGUE, June 19 (Tanjug) - US President George Bush has
issued an order according to which US lawyers are barred from
representing before the Tribunal in The Hague war crimes suspects from
the territory of the former Yugoslavia, the Tribunal in The Hague
said on Wednesday.
AP news agency has reported that this executive order of the
US Administration, dated May 29 this year, and which was made public
on the US government website only on Wednesday, suspends support for
over 200 individuals and organizations of the former Yugoslavia who
are on the US black list and bans the extension of services and funds
to such persons, including legal representation.
On that list are all the accused in the trial of Slobodan
Milosevic, as well as his entire family. Some 20 US lawyers are
defending war crimes suspects before the Tribunal in The Hague, a
court that has the political and finacial support of the United States.

U.S. Ban on U.S. Lawyers Derails Case
By KATARINA KRATOVAC
The Associated Press - June 19, 2003
THE HAGUE, Netherlands - A U.S. government ban on
American lawyers defending war crimes suspects
derailed a second case at the Yugoslav tribunal
Thursday.
John Ackerman and David Cunningham said in court they
could no longer represent Radoslav Brdjanin without
fear of U.S. prosecution. The judge said he had no
alternative but to adjourn the trial.
The ban, part of a U.S. executive order to cut off
support to about 200 people and organizations from the
former Yugoslavia blacklisted by the U.S. government,
was made public in a document released by the court on
Wednesday.
It outlaws providing goods, services and funds to
those people, including legal representation, U.S.
Treasury Officials said. But lawyers can apply
separately for permission to represent Balkan war
crimes suspects, they said.
Brdjanin, who has pleaded innocent to 12 counts of war
crimes, said in court he would "be devastated" if his
American lawyers were not allowed to continue. "It
would be disastrous for me," he said.
Presiding judge Carmel Agius said the inclusion of
lawyers in the ban was probably a "misinterpretation"
by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Tribunal spokesman Jim Landale said the court was in
contact with the U.S. government and hoped "a solution
will be worked out shortly."
About 20 American lawyers are defending suspects at
the U.N. tribunal, established in 1993 by the U.N.
Security Council to prosecute individuals responsible
for war crimes during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
Many of the people listed are indicted war crimes
suspects and some are already on trial at the U.N.
court, including former Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic.
In a document made public Wednesday, three American
lawyers requested an immediate suspension of the case
against Bosnian Croat Gen. Tihomir Blaskic, saying the
Treasury Department had told them they could be
prosecuted for representing him.

Terrorizing Serbs

UN court grants early release for Bosnian Muslim
jailed for terrorising Serbs
THE HAGUE, July 9 (AFP) - The UN war crimes court on
Wednesday agreed to an early release for Bosnian Croat
Zdravo Mucic, who was sentenced to nine years in
prison in April for running a camp in central Bosnia
where Serbs were terrorised by their Muslim and Croat
jailers.
The president of the International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Judge Theodor Meron,
"granted Zdravo Mucic's request for early release,
effective July 18," the court said in a statement.
Mucic has been in tribunal custody since March 18,
1996. He has effectively served two-thirds of his
sentence, the judge said.
Mucic has been in the court's detention centre all
this time. Usually convicted war criminals are
transferred to other countries to serve their time and
can request early release under the rules of the
country that is detaining them.
With Mucic, judge Meron ruled that eligibility for
early release in the nine states that have agreed to
take in ICTY convicts starts at two-thirds of the
sentence served and this should apply in this case as
well.
In April the appeals court ruled that Mucic as
commander of the Celebici camp bore some
responsibility for the murder, cruel treatment and
torture committed by his staff.
The camp was set up by joint Bosnian Muslim-Croat
forces in 1992 in the riverside village of Celebici,
near the town of Konjic in central Bosnia.
Several dozen Bosnian Serb civilians from the Konjic
area were detained there in 1992.
Two of Mucic's subordinates were sentenced to 18 and
15 years in prison for "killing, torturing, sexually
assaulting, beating and otherwise subjecting detainees
in that camp to cruel and inhumane treatment".
The judges said that in an interview in June Mucic
"acknowledged that the conditions at the Celebici
prison camp were appalling and expressed his respect,
and gratitude ... for the judicial process".
Mucic is the sixth person convicted by the ICTY to
have been released after serving a sentence. Eleven
people are currently serving jail terms in countries
that have agreed to take in ICTY convicts. Three
people convicted by the UN court are still waiting to
be transferred to serve their sentence.

"Freiheit hinter Gittern"
http://www.artel.co.yu/de/izbor/jugoslavija/2003-07-01_2.html
Von Rüdiger Göbel,
Den Haag, 28 Juni 2003
Internationale Solidaritätsaktion am Vidovdan: Freilassung von Slobodan
Milosevic gefordert.
Die gute Nachricht zuerst. Die internationale Solidarität, auch mit
Serbien und Jugoslawien, lebt weiter, sie ist nicht nur ein papierene
Parole aus der Mottenkiste linker Geschichte. Aus einem Dutzend Länder,
darunter Deutschland, die USA, Kanada, Italien, Frankreich, Österreich,
Griechenland,
Belgien, Bulgarien und Serbien, kamen am 28. Juni Demonstranten in Den
Haag zusammen, um die Freilassung Slobodan Milosevics zu fordern und an
die Opfer des NATO-Bombenkrieges 1999 zu erinnern. Im Auftrag der
Aggressorstaaten wird dem früheren Präsident Jugoslawiens vor dem
UN-Tribunal der Prozeß gemacht wegen angeblicher Kriegsverbrechen in
Kroatien, Bosnien-Herzegowina und im Kosovo. Seit zwei Jahren wehrt
sich Milosevic erfolgreich und daher weitgehend unbeachtet gegen seine
Ankläger. Mit jugoslawischen und serbischen Fahnen, "Slobo,
Slobo"-Rufen und Partisanenliedern marschierten die Demonstranten ins
benachbarte Scheweningen, wo er seit dem 28. Juni 2001 in Haft sitzt.
Die weniger gute Nachricht dieses Tages: Es waren dieses Jahr nicht
eine Million Serben, die Milosevic ihre Unterstützung und Solidarität
versicherten, wie noch 1989, als sie im Kosovo zum 600. Mal an die
Schlacht auf dem Amselfeld erinnerten. An den Churchill Pein 1, den
Sitz des UN-Tribunals in Den Haag, kamen am diesjährigen serbischen
Feiertag Vidovdan
nur knapp 300 Demonstranten. Aufgerufen zum Protest hatte das
"Internationale Komitee zur Verteidigung Slobodan Milosevics" (ICDSM).
Doch die kleine Schar der Demonstranten reichte aus, die
Sicherheitsbehörden rotieren zu lassen. Im Scheweningen-Gefängnis wurde
an diesem Samstag der Hofgang gestrichen, Milosevic Telefongespräche
untersagt, um Live-Grußadressen zu verhindern. Klaus Hartmann,
Bundesvorsitzender des
Freidenker-Verbandes und IDCSM-Vizepräsident, zeigte sich denn auch
zufrieden. "Es ist wichtig, ein Zeichen zu setzen", sagte er gegenüber
dieser Zeitung. Sicher sei die erste Solidaritätsdemonstration in Den
Haag mit mehreren hundert Demonstranten eher klein gewesen. "Aber wir
werden wieder kommen und wir werden stärker werden." Mit Verweis auf
den alten Griechen Aristoteles fügte Hartmann zuversichtlich hinzu,
"der Anfang ist mehr als die Hälfte des Weges".
Tags zuvor hatte Hartmann zwei Stunden lang mit Milosevic gesprochen.
"Er ist kämpferisch, läßt sich nicht unterkriegen", berichtete er unter
Applaus der Anwesenden von seiner Unterredung. Und er machte Mut für
den Fortgang des Milosevic-Prozesses: "Nach ihrer eigenen Halbzeit
steht die Anklage, allen voran Carla del Ponte, völlig nackt da. Ein
grausames Bild", erklärte der Freidenker-Chef. Bisher habe Milosevic
jeden Zeugen der Anklage demontiert. Das "Kriegsgericht" fürchte die
"zweite Halbzeit", wenn der
Angeklagte Zeugen berufen könne. Doch das Tribunal zehre an den Kräften
Milosevics. Mittlerweile gebe es über eine halbe Million Seiten
Prozeßakten.
Hartmann forderte daher, das Verfahren ein Jahr zu unterbrechen und den
Angeklagten auf freien Fuß zu setzen, damit er sich adäquat vorbereiten
könne.
Vor den Knast-Toren verwies Hartmann auf die historische Dimension des
"Falls Milosevic": Das Gefängnis am Pompstationsweg 46 A im Seebad
Scheweningen diente den deutschen Faschisten zur Inhaftierung
niederländischer Widerstandskämpfer. "Heute sperren die Täter dort
wieder
ihre Gegner ein", so Hartmann. Und weiter: "Den Kämpfern gegen die neue
Weltkriegsordnung gehört unsere Solidarität.
"Milosevic ist zum ersten politischen Gefangenen der sogenannten
Globalisierung der kapitalistischen Ausbeutung geworden", erklärte auch
Demo-Anmelder Will van der Klift aus den Niederlanden. Durch den Prozeß
gegen den früheren demokratisch gewählten Präsidenten eines souveränen
Staates hätten die NATO und ihr Ad-hoc-Tribunal einen gravierenden
Präzedenzfall für die Zerstörung der Souveränität der Staaten
geschaffen.
"Slobodan Milosevic sitzt nicht im Gefängnis, weil er Verbrechen
begangen hat, sondern weil er gegen die Verbrecher gekämpft hat", sagte
Velko Valkanov, ICDSM-Kopräsident und Vorsitzender des Bulgarischen
antifaschistischen Verbandes und des Bulgarischen Komitees für
Menschenrechte. Unter Führung von Milosevic hätten die Serben 1999 ihre
Freiheit und Würde gegen die imperialistische Globalisierung verteidigt
- und damit die Unabhängigkeit aller Völker. "Im Gefängnis befindet
sich nicht
nur Slobodan Milosevic, sondern die Freiheit selbst", so Valkanov. "In
Scheweningen sitzt die Freiheit hinter Gittern."
International verleumdet von Anfang an hätten Milosevic, die
Sozialistische Partei Serbiens und alle patriotischen Kräfte Widerstand
geleistet gegen die Zerschlagung Jugoslawiens in schwache, ethnisch
separierte Territorien, gegen die Beherrschung durch IWF und Weltbank,
gegen das Eindringen der McDonald-Kultur und gegen die NATO-gesteuerten
rassistischen Terrortruppen, die zynisch als Freiheitskämpfer getarnt
wurden. Gerade wegen dieses prinzipiellen Widerstands mache die NATO
ihm in Den Haag den Prozeß, so Valkanov. Wie zynisch sei es, daß die
USA Bürger anderer Länder vor Gericht stellen ließen, für die eigenen
Staatsangehörigen aber Straffreiheit verlangten. - In der letzten Juni
Woche, sei hier angemerkt, hat nun auch Bosnien-Herzegowina ein
Abkommen mit Washington ratifiziert, das US-Bürger von der
Strafverfolgung durch den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof (IStGH)
ausnimmt. Gleichzeitig hat das UN-Tribunal die ehemalige Präsidentin
der Republika Srpska in Bosnien, Biljana Plavsic, an ein Gefängnis in
Schweden
überstellt. Die Haager Richter hatten die 72jährige im Februar wegen
Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit während des bosnischen
Bürgerkrieges zu elf Jahren Haft verurteilt.
Begeisterung bei den Anwesenden rief der belgische Publizist Michel
Collon hervor. "Nach den militärischen Invasionen in Afghanistan und
Irak fahren die USA und ihre Verbündeten fort, andere souveräne
Nationen durch wirtschaftliche Sanktionen, Drohungen mit
Massenvernichtungswaffen und
Destabilisierungsversuche erpresserisch und gewaltsam zur Unterwerfung
zu zwingen", so Collon. Für künftige Kämpfe der Friedens- und sozialen
Bewegungen sei es unerläßlich, den Widerstand gegen diese
kolonialistischen Kräfte beharrlich und konsequent fortzusetzen. Daß
dies möglich ist,
demonstrierte seine Linkspartei in den vergangenen Wochen eindrücklich.
Mit einer von der PTB initiierten Anzeige gegen US-General Tommy Franks
wegen mutmaßlicher Kriegsverbrechen im jüngsten Irak-Krieg spielte sie
mit einem
Mal in der oberen Liga der Weltpolitik: Die belgische Regierung zog den
gesammelten Unmut des Weißen Hauses auf sich. Unter Druck der
US-Führung änderte sie inzwischen entsprechende Gesetzesregelungen.
Nicht zufrieden damit erwägen die USA, Brüssel als Standort des
NATO-Hauptquartiers aufzugeben.
Und so überwog an diesem sonnigen Samstag die Zuversicht. Mögen auch
nur ein paar Hundert Demonstranten nach Den Haag gekommen sein. Sie
zeigten eindrücklich und selbstbewußt: Widerstand für eine andere Welt
ist möglich,
die internationale Solidarität wächst. Ausgerechnet am Churchill Plein
1 und vor dem Gefängnistor in Scheweningen blühte am Vidovdan, dem Tag
der Niederlage Serbiens, ein Stück Jugoslawien wieder auf.

Den Hag, 28. juni 2003
Medjunarodna akcija solidarnosti na Vidovdan: zahtevana sloboda za
Slobodana Milosevica
Dobra vest kao prvo. IMedjunarodna solidarnost, takodje i sa Srbijom i
sa Jugoslavijom, zivi i dalje i nije samo parola na papiru iz naftalina
levicarske istorije. Iz tuceta zemalja, izmedju ostalog iz Nemacka,
SAD, Kanade, Italije, Francuske, Austrije, Grcke, Belgije, Bugarske i
Srbije skupili su se 28.06.2003 demonstranti u Den Hagu sa zehtevom za
oslobodjenje Slobodana Milosevica i da podsete na zrtve NATO-bombaskog
rata 1999.god. Po nalogu drzava-agresora sudi se ranijem predsedniku
Jugoslavije pred Tribunalom UN radi navodnih ratnih zlocina u
Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini i Kosovu.
Vec dve godine Milosevic se uspesno brani protiv sviojih tuzioca i radi
toga malo ko obraca paznju na to sudjenje.
Sa jugoslovenskim i srpskim zastavama, uzvicima "Slobo, Slobo" i
partizanskim pesmama demonstranti su marsirali u susedan Seveningen gde
se on od 28.06.2001 nalazi.
Manje dobra vest dana: ove godine nije bilo milion Srba koji bi
Milosevicu obecali podrsku i solidarnist, kao 1989.god. kada su
naKosovu 600-ti put podsecali na Kosovsku bitku. Ispred Cercil pleina
br. 1, sedista UN-Tribunala u Den Hagu doslo je na ovogodisnji praznik
Vidovdan nesto oko 300 demonstranata, pozvanih na protest od strane"
Internacionalnog komiteta za odbranu Slobodana Milosevica" (ICDSM)
Ipak je ova mala grupa bila dovoljna da sluzbe obezbedjenja navede na
promene. U seveninskoj tamnici ove subote je izlazak u dvoriste bio
ponisten, Milosevicu zabranjen, da se pozdravi uzivo ne bi culi.
klaus Hartmann, Savezni predsednik Udruzenje slobodnih mislilaca i
podpredsednik ICDSM-a bio je ipak zadovoljan. "Vazno je da se da znak",
rekao za novine "Junge Welt". Sigurno je da je prva solidarni protest u
Den Hagu sa nekoliko stotina demonstranata bila manja. "Ali mi cemo
opet doci i mi cemo biti jaci". Upucujuci na starog Graka Arostotela
Hartman je sa poverenjem dodao, "pocetak je vise od polovine puta".
Dan pre toga Hartman je imao razgovor u duzini od dva sata sa
Milosevicem. "On je borben, nece dozvoliti da ga pobede", izvestavao je
on o svom razgovoru pod aplauzom prisutnih. On je i hrabrio za
produzetak Milosevicevog procesa. " posle njihovog licnog poluvremena,
tuzioci, ispred svih Karla del Ponte, stoje potpuno goli. Strasna
slika", rekao je sef slobodnih mislilaca. Dosada je Milosevic svakog
svedoka optuznice demontirao. "Ratni sud" se boji "drugog poluvremena"
kada ce optuzeni pozvati svedoke. Ipak Tribunal slabi Miloseviceve
snage. Do sada postoji preko pola miliona strana procesnih akata.
Hartman trazi radi toga da se sudjenje prekine na godinu dana i da se
optuzeni pusti da bi se adekvatno pripremio.
Pred kapijom tamnice Hartman je upozorio na istorijsku dimenziju
"Slucaja Milosevic". Zatvor u
Pompstaciosvegu 46 A u banji Seveningen sluzio je fasistima za
zatvaranje holandskih ustanika. " Danas tu pocinioci ponovo zatvaraju
protivnike", istice Hartman. I dalje navodi: "Borcima protiv Novog
svetskog poretka pripada nasa solidarnost".
"Milosevic je prvi politicki zatvorenik takozvane globalizacije
kapitalistickog tlacenja", rekao je takodje jedan od govornika na
protestu Vil van der Klift iz Holandije. Procesom protiv nekadasnjeg
izabranog predsednika jedne suverene drzave NATO i njen ad hoc Tribunal
stvorili su odlucujuci presedan za unistenje suvereniteta svih drzava.
"Slobodan Milosevic ne sedi u tamnici zato sto je pocinio zlocine, vec
zato sto se borio protiv zlocina", kaze Velko Vlkanov,
ICDSM-kopredsednik i predsedavajuci Bugarskog antifasistickog saveza i
Bugarskog komiteta za ljudska prava. Pod Milosevicem Srbi su 1999.god.
branili svoju slobodu i cast protiv imperialisticke globalizacije - i
time nezavisnost svih naroda. "U tamnici se ne nalazi samo Slobodan
Milosevic, vec sama sloboda", rekao je Vlkanov. "U Seveningenu se
SLOBODA nalazi iza resetaka".
Internacionalno oklevetan od samog pocetka Milosevic, Socialisticka
Partija Srbije i sve patriotske snage usprotivile su se razaranju
Jugoslavije u slabe, etnicki separisane teritorije, protiv vladavine
IMF-a i Svetske banke, protov prodiranja McDonaldsove kulture i protiv
NATO-upravljanih rasistickih teroristickih trupa, koje su cinicno
maskirane kao borci za mir. Upravo radi ovog principijelnog otpora NATO
mu sudi u Den Hagu, tvrdi Vlkanov. Koliko je samo cinicno da SAD
gradjane drugih zemalja stavljaju pred sud, a za svoje
drzavljane traze izuzimanje od kazne. - U zadnjoj nedelji juna, da ovde
primetimo, Bosna i Herzegovina je ratifikovala Ugovor sa Vasingtonom
koji iskljucuje kazneno gonjenje gradjana SAD kroz pred Medjunarodnim
sudom za zlocine. U isto vreme UN-Tribunal je bivsu predsednicu
Republike Srpsle Biljanu Plavsic prebacio u zatvor u Svedskoj. Haske
sudije su ovu 72-godisnjakinju u februaru osudile na jedanaest godina
zatvora radi zlocina protiv covecnosti.
Odusevljenje prisutnih izazvao je belgijski publicista Misel Kolon.
"Posle vojnih invazija na Avganistan i Irak SAD i njihovi saveznici
nastavljaju da druge suverene nacije kroz privredne sankcije, pretnje
oruzjem za masovno unistavanje i pokusajima destabilisanja, ucenjivacki
i sa silom primoraju da im se podcine", kaze Kolon. Nedopustivo je za
buduce borbe mirovnih- i socijalnih pokreta da se otpor protiv
kolonijalistickih snaga uporno i konsekventno ne nastavi. Da je to
moguce upecatljivo je pokazala njegova Levicarska partija prosle
nedelje. Prijavom koju je podnela protiv americkog generala Tomija
Frenksa zbog mogucih ratnih zlocina u najnovijem irackom ratu
odjedanput je igrala u prvojj ligi svetske politike: Belgijska vlada je
na sebe navukla sav nakupljen bes Bele kuce . Pod pritiskom vlasti SAD
izmenila je u medjuvremenu
odredjena pravila zakona. Nezadovoljni ovim SAD razmisljaju o tome da
Brisel vise ne bude glavno sediste NATO.
I tako ove suncane subote preovladava pouzdanje. Moguce je da je u Den
Hag doslo samo nekoliko stotina demonstranata. Ali oni su se ubedljivo
pokazali sigurnima: otpor za jedan drugi svet je moguc, Medjunarodna
solidarnost raste. Upravo u Cercilpleinu br. 1 pred kapijama tamnice u
Seveningenu procvetao je na Vidovdan, na dan pada Srbije, jedan komad
Jugoslavije.

Tags zuvor hatte Hartmann zwei Stunden lang mit Milosevic gesprochen.
"Er ist kämpferisch, läßt sich nicht unterkriegen", berichtete er unter
Applaus der Anwesenden von seiner Unterredung. Und er machte Mut für
den Fortgang des Milosevic-Prozesses: "Nach ihrer eigenen Halbzeit
steht die Anklage, allen voran Carla del Ponte, völlig nackt da. Ein
grausames Bild", erklärte der Freidenker-Chef. Bisher habe Milosevic
jeden Zeugen der Anklage demontiert. Das "Kriegsgericht" fürchte die
"zweite Halbzeit", wenn der
Angeklagte Zeugen berufen könne. Doch das Tribunal zehre an den Kräften
Milosevics. Mittlerweile gebe es über eine halbe Million Seiten
Prozeßakten.
Hartmann forderte daher, das Verfahren ein Jahr zu unterbrechen und den
Angeklagten auf freien Fuß zu setzen, damit er sich adäquat vorbereiten
könne.
Vor den Knast-Toren verwies Hartmann auf die historische Dimension des
"Falls Milosevic": Das Gefängnis am Pompstationsweg 46 A im Seebad
Scheweningen diente den deutschen Faschisten zur Inhaftierung
niederländischer Widerstandskämpfer. "Heute sperren die Täter dort
wieder
ihre Gegner ein", so Hartmann. Und weiter: "Den Kämpfern gegen die neue
Weltkriegsordnung gehört unsere Solidarität.
"Milosevic ist zum ersten politischen Gefangenen der sogenannten
Globalisierung der kapitalistischen Ausbeutung geworden", erklärte auch
Demo-Anmelder Will van der Klift aus den Niederlanden. Durch den Prozeß
gegen den früheren demokratisch gewählten Präsidenten eines souveränen
Staates hätten die NATO und ihr Ad-hoc-Tribunal einen gravierenden
Präzedenzfall für die Zerstörung der Souveränität der Staaten
geschaffen.
"Slobodan Milosevic sitzt nicht im Gefängnis, weil er Verbrechen
begangen hat, sondern weil er gegen die Verbrecher gekämpft hat", sagte
Velko Valkanov, ICDSM-Kopräsident und Vorsitzender des Bulgarischen
antifaschistischen Verbandes und des Bulgarischen Komitees für
Menschenrechte. Unter Führung von Milosevic hätten die Serben 1999 ihre
Freiheit und Würde gegen die imperialistische Globalisierung verteidigt
- und damit die Unabhängigkeit aller Völker. "Im Gefängnis befindet
sich nicht
nur Slobodan Milosevic, sondern die Freiheit selbst", so Valkanov. "In
Scheweningen sitzt die Freiheit hinter Gittern."
International verleumdet von Anfang an hätten Milosevic, die
Sozialistische Partei Serbiens und alle patriotischen Kräfte Widerstand
geleistet gegen die Zerschlagung Jugoslawiens in schwache, ethnisch
separierte Territorien, gegen die Beherrschung durch IWF und Weltbank,
gegen das Eindringen der McDonald-Kultur und gegen die NATO-gesteuerten
rassistischen Terrortruppen, die zynisch als Freiheitskämpfer getarnt
wurden. Gerade wegen dieses prinzipiellen Widerstands mache die NATO
ihm in Den Haag den Prozeß, so Valkanov. Wie zynisch sei es, daß die
USA Bürger anderer Länder vor Gericht stellen ließen, für die eigenen
Staatsangehörigen aber Straffreiheit verlangten. - In der letzten Juni
Woche, sei hier angemerkt, hat nun auch Bosnien-Herzegowina ein
Abkommen mit Washington ratifiziert, das US-Bürger von der
Strafverfolgung durch den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof (IStGH)
ausnimmt. Gleichzeitig hat das UN-Tribunal die ehemalige Präsidentin
der Republika Srpska in Bosnien, Biljana Plavsic, an ein Gefängnis in
Schweden
überstellt. Die Haager Richter hatten die 72jährige im Februar wegen
Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit während des bosnischen
Bürgerkrieges zu elf Jahren Haft verurteilt.
Begeisterung bei den Anwesenden rief der belgische Publizist Michel
Collon hervor. "Nach den militärischen Invasionen in Afghanistan und
Irak fahren die USA und ihre Verbündeten fort, andere souveräne
Nationen durch wirtschaftliche Sanktionen, Drohungen mit
Massenvernichtungswaffen und
Destabilisierungsversuche erpresserisch und gewaltsam zur Unterwerfung
zu zwingen", so Collon. Für künftige Kämpfe der Friedens- und sozialen
Bewegungen sei es unerläßlich, den Widerstand gegen diese
kolonialistischen Kräfte beharrlich und konsequent fortzusetzen. Daß
dies möglich ist,
demonstrierte seine Linkspartei in den vergangenen Wochen eindrücklich.
Mit einer von der PTB initiierten Anzeige gegen US-General Tommy Franks
wegen mutmaßlicher Kriegsverbrechen im jüngsten Irak-Krieg spielte sie
mit einem
Mal in der oberen Liga der Weltpolitik: Die belgische Regierung zog den
gesammelten Unmut des Weißen Hauses auf sich. Unter Druck der
US-Führung änderte sie inzwischen entsprechende Gesetzesregelungen.
Nicht zufrieden damit erwägen die USA, Brüssel als Standort des
NATO-Hauptquartiers aufzugeben.
Und so überwog an diesem sonnigen Samstag die Zuversicht. Mögen auch
nur ein paar Hundert Demonstranten nach Den Haag gekommen sein. Sie
zeigten eindrücklich und selbstbewußt: Widerstand für eine andere Welt
ist möglich,
die internationale Solidarität wächst. Ausgerechnet am Churchill Plein
1 und vor dem Gefängnistor in Scheweningen blühte am Vidovdan, dem Tag
der Niederlage Serbiens, ein Stück Jugoslawien wieder auf.

Rudiger Gebel: SLOBODA IZA RESETAKA!

Den Hag, 28. juni 2003
Medjunarodna akcija solidarnosti na Vidovdan: zahtevana sloboda za
Slobodana Milosevica
Dobra vest kao prvo. IMedjunarodna solidarnost, takodje i sa Srbijom i
sa Jugoslavijom, zivi i dalje i nije samo parola na papiru iz naftalina
levicarske istorije. Iz tuceta zemalja, izmedju ostalog iz Nemacka,
SAD, Kanade, Italije, Francuske, Austrije, Grcke, Belgije, Bugarske i
Srbije skupili su se 28.06.2003 demonstranti u Den Hagu sa zehtevom za
oslobodjenje Slobodana Milosevica i da podsete na zrtve NATO-bombaskog
rata 1999.god. Po nalogu drzava-agresora sudi se ranijem predsedniku
Jugoslavije pred Tribunalom UN radi navodnih ratnih zlocina u
Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini i Kosovu.
Vec dve godine Milosevic se uspesno brani protiv sviojih tuzioca i radi
toga malo ko obraca paznju na to sudjenje.
Sa jugoslovenskim i srpskim zastavama, uzvicima "Slobo, Slobo" i
partizanskim pesmama demonstranti su marsirali u susedan Seveningen gde
se on od 28.06.2001 nalazi.
Manje dobra vest dana: ove godine nije bilo milion Srba koji bi
Milosevicu obecali podrsku i solidarnist, kao 1989.god. kada su
naKosovu 600-ti put podsecali na Kosovsku bitku. Ispred Cercil pleina
br. 1, sedista UN-Tribunala u Den Hagu doslo je na ovogodisnji praznik
Vidovdan nesto oko 300 demonstranata, pozvanih na protest od strane"
Internacionalnog komiteta za odbranu Slobodana Milosevica" (ICDSM)
Ipak je ova mala grupa bila dovoljna da sluzbe obezbedjenja navede na
promene. U seveninskoj tamnici ove subote je izlazak u dvoriste bio
ponisten, Milosevicu zabranjen, da se pozdravi uzivo ne bi culi.
klaus Hartmann, Savezni predsednik Udruzenje slobodnih mislilaca i
podpredsednik ICDSM-a bio je ipak zadovoljan. "Vazno je da se da znak",
rekao za novine "Junge Welt". Sigurno je da je prva solidarni protest u
Den Hagu sa nekoliko stotina demonstranata bila manja. "Ali mi cemo
opet doci i mi cemo biti jaci". Upucujuci na starog Graka Arostotela
Hartman je sa poverenjem dodao, "pocetak je vise od polovine puta".
Dan pre toga Hartman je imao razgovor u duzini od dva sata sa
Milosevicem. "On je borben, nece dozvoliti da ga pobede", izvestavao je
on o svom razgovoru pod aplauzom prisutnih. On je i hrabrio za
produzetak Milosevicevog procesa. " posle njihovog licnog poluvremena,
tuzioci, ispred svih Karla del Ponte, stoje potpuno goli. Strasna
slika", rekao je sef slobodnih mislilaca. Dosada je Milosevic svakog
svedoka optuznice demontirao. "Ratni sud" se boji "drugog poluvremena"
kada ce optuzeni pozvati svedoke. Ipak Tribunal slabi Miloseviceve
snage. Do sada postoji preko pola miliona strana procesnih akata.
Hartman trazi radi toga da se sudjenje prekine na godinu dana i da se
optuzeni pusti da bi se adekvatno pripremio.
Pred kapijom tamnice Hartman je upozorio na istorijsku dimenziju
"Slucaja Milosevic". Zatvor u
Pompstaciosvegu 46 A u banji Seveningen sluzio je fasistima za
zatvaranje holandskih ustanika. " Danas tu pocinioci ponovo zatvaraju
protivnike", istice Hartman. I dalje navodi: "Borcima protiv Novog
svetskog poretka pripada nasa solidarnost".
"Milosevic je prvi politicki zatvorenik takozvane globalizacije
kapitalistickog tlacenja", rekao je takodje jedan od govornika na
protestu Vil van der Klift iz Holandije. Procesom protiv nekadasnjeg
izabranog predsednika jedne suverene drzave NATO i njen ad hoc Tribunal
stvorili su odlucujuci presedan za unistenje suvereniteta svih drzava.
"Slobodan Milosevic ne sedi u tamnici zato sto je pocinio zlocine, vec
zato sto se borio protiv zlocina", kaze Velko Vlkanov,
ICDSM-kopredsednik i predsedavajuci Bugarskog antifasistickog saveza i
Bugarskog komiteta za ljudska prava. Pod Milosevicem Srbi su 1999.god.
branili svoju slobodu i cast protiv imperialisticke globalizacije - i
time nezavisnost svih naroda. "U tamnici se ne nalazi samo Slobodan
Milosevic, vec sama sloboda", rekao je Vlkanov. "U Seveningenu se
SLOBODA nalazi iza resetaka".
Internacionalno oklevetan od samog pocetka Milosevic, Socialisticka
Partija Srbije i sve patriotske snage usprotivile su se razaranju
Jugoslavije u slabe, etnicki separisane teritorije, protiv vladavine
IMF-a i Svetske banke, protov prodiranja McDonaldsove kulture i protiv
NATO-upravljanih rasistickih teroristickih trupa, koje su cinicno
maskirane kao borci za mir. Upravo radi ovog principijelnog otpora NATO
mu sudi u Den Hagu, tvrdi Vlkanov. Koliko je samo cinicno da SAD
gradjane drugih zemalja stavljaju pred sud, a za svoje
drzavljane traze izuzimanje od kazne. - U zadnjoj nedelji juna, da ovde
primetimo, Bosna i Herzegovina je ratifikovala Ugovor sa Vasingtonom
koji iskljucuje kazneno gonjenje gradjana SAD kroz pred Medjunarodnim
sudom za zlocine. U isto vreme UN-Tribunal je bivsu predsednicu
Republike Srpsle Biljanu Plavsic prebacio u zatvor u Svedskoj. Haske
sudije su ovu 72-godisnjakinju u februaru osudile na jedanaest godina
zatvora radi zlocina protiv covecnosti.
Odusevljenje prisutnih izazvao je belgijski publicista Misel Kolon.
"Posle vojnih invazija na Avganistan i Irak SAD i njihovi saveznici
nastavljaju da druge suverene nacije kroz privredne sankcije, pretnje
oruzjem za masovno unistavanje i pokusajima destabilisanja, ucenjivacki
i sa silom primoraju da im se podcine", kaze Kolon. Nedopustivo je za
buduce borbe mirovnih- i socijalnih pokreta da se otpor protiv
kolonijalistickih snaga uporno i konsekventno ne nastavi. Da je to
moguce upecatljivo je pokazala njegova Levicarska partija prosle
nedelje. Prijavom koju je podnela protiv americkog generala Tomija
Frenksa zbog mogucih ratnih zlocina u najnovijem irackom ratu
odjedanput je igrala u prvojj ligi svetske politike: Belgijska vlada je
na sebe navukla sav nakupljen bes Bele kuce . Pod pritiskom vlasti SAD
izmenila je u medjuvremenu
odredjena pravila zakona. Nezadovoljni ovim SAD razmisljaju o tome da
Brisel vise ne bude glavno sediste NATO.
I tako ove suncane subote preovladava pouzdanje. Moguce je da je u Den
Hag doslo samo nekoliko stotina demonstranata. Ali oni su se ubedljivo
pokazali sigurnima: otpor za jedan drugi svet je moguc, Medjunarodna
solidarnost raste. Upravo u Cercilpleinu br. 1 pred kapijama tamnice u
Seveningenu procvetao je na Vidovdan, na dan pada Srbije, jedan komad
Jugoslavije.
