MILOSEVIC: ILLEGITTIMO PROCESSO ALL'AJA, FIDEL CASTRO

(ANSA) - L'AVANA, 29 GIU - Il presidente cubano Fidel Castro ha
definito ''illegittimi'' l'estradizione all'Aja e il procedimento
giudiziario del Tribunale internazionale nei confronti dell'ex
presidente jugoslavo Slobodan Milosevic. Il leader cubano ha detto
che l'estradizione di Milosevic ''e' contraria alle leggi
internazionali'' ed ha ammonito che un eventuale giudizio da parte
del Tribunale internazionale ''complicherebbe la situazione in Serbia''.
Castro ha invece liquidato come ''affari giudiziari interni'' gli
arresti dell'ex presidente argentino Carlos Menem e dell'ex
capo dei servizi segreti peruviani Vladimiro Montesinos. (ANSA). BRN

MILOSEVIC: LIBIA, PER ESTRADIZIONE DUE PESI E DUE MISURE

(ANSA-AFP) - TRIPOLI, 29 GIU - La Libia ha denunciato oggi la
consegna dell'ex presidente jugoslavo Slobodan Milosevic al Tribunale
penale internazionale dell'Aja (Tpi), definendola ''una prova della
politica dei due pesi e due misure''. In un comunicato, il ministero
degli Esteri libico si chiede come ''si possa trasferire Milosevic
di forza, mentre l'ex presidente americano Ronald Reagan resta libero
e fuori della portata del braccio della Giustizia''. Reagan ordino'
gli attacchi aerei contro Tripoli e Bengasi, nell'aprile 1986, a
causa del ''presunto appoggio'' della Libia al terrorismo. I
bombardamenti, secondo fonti libiche, fecero 37 morti, tra cui la
figlia adottiva del leader Muammar Gheddafi. Se giustizia dovesse
essere fatta - afferma Tripoli, che aveva gia' criticato l'intervento
militare della Nato per il Kosovo, nella primavera 1999 - il primo
ministro israeliano Ariel Sharon e il ministro degli Esteri Shimon
Peres dovrebbero essere processati per ''genocidio''. (ANSA-AFP). DIG

Subject: RAF kidnap Slobo

From: "cana.london" <cana.london@...>

CANA STATEMENT: Immediate Release

RAF AIR CREW MINISTERS & COMMANDERS TO BE INDICTED IN UK COURTS FOR
KIDNAPPING

I have just heard on BBC television that the former head of state of the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, has been transported
to Holland by an RAF plane.

If this proves to be true, later today I will be visiting the British
Ministry of Defence to ask for the names of the pilots & air crew
of the aircraft involved, so that their names can be included in an
indictment I plan to lodge at the Crown Court on the charge of
kidnapping.

If the MOD refuse to give me these names, I will instead proceed against
the appropriate Minister, senior civil servants & RAF commanders, whose
names are known, & who gave the orders & acted as accomplices in the
illegal abduction of a foreign national.

I hope others might consider other moves, such as applying for a writ of
Habeus Corpus, but such a writ would have to be directed I presume
against the Dutch authorities.

What Britain has done & Mr Tony Blair has endorsed is a loathsome act of
international brigandage.

It makes the RAF no better than the Barbary pirates.

I denounce the George Soros/ Warner Bros/ Mickey Mouse illegally
financed institution @ the Hague masquerading as a UN Court, whose
operations are entirely selective, & which refused to investigate my
earlier allegations of war crimes perpetrated by the NATO leaders,
including the British PM, in the March 1999 illegal war by the NATO
powers on the FRY.

It is the duty of the Federal President of Yugoslavia & the security
forces of Yugoslavia to arrest those members of the Serbian so called
Government for breaching the law & Constitution of the state,
consorting with enemy powers, & illegally depriving Slobodan Milosevic
of his liberty.

I believe the peoples of Europe, who have had ample experience of
fighting fascism in the past, have now to rise up against the
neo- fascist globalist rulers of the new corporate Europe, & take all
necessary steps to restore the rule of law & democracy to
this Continent, a rule of law which has been subverted by EU-Nato's
operations, both in the Former Yugoslavia, & against the
present FRY, & now the state of Macedonia, which Nato is also seeking to
dismember, using Albanian surrogates.

What is most disturbing is the wholesale media censorship & the use of
propaganda to form public opinion in Yugoslavia & the rest of Europe, as
wielded by irresponsible untruthful & corrupt organisations, such as
the BBC & CNN.

I would very much wish to be in Belgrade for the rally planned later
today but hope this press release can be read out by one of my Yugoslav
friends & comrades, & the Yugoslav people should be assured that the
English people, & Londoners are with Serbia 100% in the battle against
the worthless & immoral Djindjic criminal clique, & the NATO occupation
forces in Kosovo & Bosnia, which forces must be removed, and the US base
at Camp Bondsteel permanently dismantled.

Yesterday Yugoslavia was raped by evil forces, every bit as evil as
those of Adolph Hitler

Yet Serbia has fallen before, on the field of Kosovo, on the 28th June,
in a former era, & then its worthy soldiers sought a
heavenly kingdom, preferring death to dishonour & shame, & so the
peoples of Europe, from the left & right, must form together
a new popular front against fascism, globalism, EU & NATO German
militarism + American imperialism, which evil forces are
strangling democracy/socialism & the free life of national states on
this continent.

Russia Deputy Says Milosevic Handover Serves NATO
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A leading Russian member of
parliament said on Thursday that the transfer of
former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic to the
U.N. war crimes tribunal provided NATO with a cover
for its 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia.

``Transferring Milosevic to The Hague in fact means
that NATO has at last received a cover for its
aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999,'' Dmitry
Rogozin told RTR state television.

Rogozin, head of the State Duma lower house's
International Affairs Committee, also predicted
Yugoslavia would plunge into crisis. He made his
comments after a tribunal spokesman said Milosevic was
on his way to The Hague to face war crimes charges.

Russian authorities have issued no statement on the
action. Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov refused to
comment on the issue this week, saying it was a matter
for Yugoslavs to decide.

The Duma had earlier passed a resolution urging
authorities in Belgrade not to hand over Milosevic,
saying such a move would undermine European security
and split Yugoslav society.

Russia backed Milosevic in 1999 against NATO's air
campaign. It later played a key role in ensuring a
smooth transfer of power after Milosevic gave up his
bid to cling to power and acknowledged losing a
presidential election last year to Vojislav Kostunica.

Rogozin, who was attending a Council of Europe meeting
in the French city of Strasbourg, told Russia's state
RTR television that Milosevic's transfer indicated
that the international committee mistrusted the
Yugoslav legal system.

He said it also meant Belgrade authorities had given
in to demands to turn over the ex-president in return
for U.S. pledges to take part in a donor's conference
to back Yugoslav reforms.

``They got want they wanted. The blackmail worked in
full,'' he said. ``This will inevitably lead to a
crisis in Yugoslavia.''

Russia's parliament was much more vocal than the
Kremlin in backing Milosevic throughout the 11-week
1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in response to
Belgrade's crackdown on ethnic Albanians in Serbia's
Kosovo province.

The parliaments in Russia and neighboring Belarus even
voted to agree to the Yugoslav parliament's request to
join their ''union state.'' The Russian-Belarus union
was first approved in 1996 but remains vague in its
powers and authority.

Ramsey Clark, Chairperson

June 28, 2001
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTERNATIONAL ACTION CENTER CONDEMNS "ILLEGAL, U.S.-FORCED
DEPORTATION OF EX- YUGOSLAV PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC TO
NATO-SPONSORED COURT"

"AN ENORMOUS TRAGEDY FOR YUGOSLAVIA AND THE RULE OF LAW,"
SAYS FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL RAMSEY CLARK

The International Action Center (IAC), a nationwide anti-war
organization, denounced today's deportation of ex-Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevic to the "International Criminal
Court for the Former Yugoslavia" in The Hague, Netherlands.

"It is an enormous tragedy for Yugoslavia, the Serbian
people and the rule of law," said IAC Chairperson and former
U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark. "Serbian Prime Minister
Djindjic and other officials should be investigated for high
crimes against the people, and if found guilty should be
sentenced in accordance with the law."

"Demands should be made to the ICCFY," Mr. Clark continued,
"which is itself illegal, to immediately return Mr.
Milosevic. The United Nations must not encourage the illegal
seizure of persons, such as took place in this case. The
people of Yugoslavia should unite in response to this
illegal seizure and demand the return of Mr. Milosevic, as
should people from all over the world.

"Today's U.S.-engineered deportation of former Yugoslav
President Slobodan Milosevic is a gross violation of both
legality and Yugoslavia's national sovereignty," said IAC
West Coast Coordinator Richard Becker. "The ICCFY in The
Hague is nothing more than a 'kangaroo court,' set up by the
U.S.-dominated UN Security Council, and run by the NATO
powers."

"The ICCFY's role as an instrument of the United States and
other NATO powers was made apparent during the 1999 NATO war
against Yugoslavia. Despite the fact that the massive
bombing of Yugoslavia constituted grave violations of
international law -- including crimes against peace, war
crimes and crimes against humanity -- the ICCFY refused to
even consider indicting the NATO powers," Becker continued.
Instead, the ICCFY indicted five Yugoslav leaders, among
them then-President Milosevic. NATO spokesperson Jamie Shea
stated in May 1999, "Of course NATO supports the ICCFY --
NATO created it."

Sara Flounders, National Co-Director of the IAC, pointed out
the fact that "Milosevic's deportation violated Yugoslavia's
constitution, and decisions of its federal president,
parliament and Consititutional Court. The extradition of
Milosevic was carried out today under the orders of the #1
U.S. lapdog politician in Yugoslavia, Zoran Djindjic, prime
minister of Serbia. In the recent election, Djindjic and his
party were the main conduits for U.S. funds. The U.S.
government openly boasts of having spent more than $100
million fixing the election in Yugoslavia, a country of 10
million people. The equivalent would be a foreign government
spending $2.8 billion to influence a national election in
the U.S.

"Today, Djindjic overrode the federal courts, parliament and
president of Yugoslavia in order to deliver Milosevic to the
imperialist's court one day before the Yugoslavia "donors
conference" (really the creditors conference) opens,"
Flounders continued. "Milosevic was sold to the U.S. by
their man in Belgrade. Imagine a governor of state in the
U.S. overriding the federal government and constitution to
surrender a U.S. citizen to another country."

"The objective of this step is not just, or even primarily,
Milosevic himself," said Becker. "The deportation of
Milosevic is another element aimed at terminating
Yugoslavia's sovereignty once and for all. For more than a
decade the U.S. and NATO have used war, blockades, sanctions
and other means to re-balkanize the Balkans. Today, as a
result, U.S. military bases dominate the region -- in
Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Hungary, Macedonia, Kosovo
(Serbia) -- where there were none 10 years ago. Yugoslavia's
real crime was that it resisted this re-colonization
process."

"The IAC stands with those in Yugoslavia today who are
resisting the U.S./NATO takeover of their country," said
Flounders, noting that an IAC delegation is presently en
route to Yugoslavia.

BOSNIA: CRIMINI GUERRA,PROCESSO AUTONOMISTA ABDIC A KARLOVAC

(ANSA) - ZAGABRIA, 19 GIU -
Il processo per crimini di guerra al musulmano
Fikret Abdic, ex leader della regione di Velika
Kladusa, proclamata autonoma da
Sarajevo durante la guerra (1992-95), si terra' a
Karlovac (circa 40 km a sud-ovest di Zagabria) e non
a Fiume come era previsto. Lo ha riferito
l'agenzia di stampa 'Hina'. La Corte suprema di
Zagabria ha deciso oggi di trasferire il processo a
Abdic, 62 anni, a Karlovac su richiesta del tribunale di
Fiume per carico eccessivo di quest'ultimo. Secondo
la Corte suprema, una delle ragioni e' stata anche
la vicinanza di Karlovac alla zona
autoproclamata da Abdic (a nord-ovest della Bosnia).
Abdic e' accusato di crimini di guerra ai danni di
oltre cinquemila detenuti nei campi nei pressi di
Velika Kladusa. Dopo la sconfitta nel 1995, Abdic si
e' rifugiato a Fiume avendo ottenuto la cittadinanza
croata. Anche se era ricercato dai tribunali
bosniaci, che avevano ottenuto l'autorizzazione a
processarlo in Bosnia, Abdic non e' mai stato
estradato perche' la legge croata non permette
l'estradizione di un proprio cittadino. L'atto di
accusa contro Abdic e' stato formalizzato a Fiume il
6 giugno, grazie al recente accordo sulle procedure
penali firmato tra i due paesi. (ANSA). COR*VD

BOSNIA: CUSTODIA CAUTELARE PER ABDIC INCRIMINATO IN CROAZIA

(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, 7 GIU - Il
tribunale di Fiume ha emesso oggi un'ordinanza di
custodia cautelare nei confronti di Fikret Abdic, ex
leader autonomista musulmano di
Velika Kladusa (nel nord-ovest della Bosnia)
rifugiatosi in Croazia nel 1995 e accusato ieri di
crimini di guerra dalla procura di Fiume. Lo ha reso
noto l'agenzia di stampa bosniaca 'BH Press'. Se non
sara' possibile effettuare l'ordinanza, ha detto il
presidente del tribunale Slavko Petric,
sara' emesso un mandato di cattura. La custodia
cautelare - ha aggiunto - e' stata disposta sulla
base della gravita' delle accuse che riguardano la
morte di 121 civili e 3 prigionieri di guerra e i
maltrattamenti e le torture di oltre 400 civili. Il
tribunale ha anche designato per Abdic un difensore
d'ufficio - ha detto Petric - ma e' probabile che
l'imputato vorra' farsi rappresentare da un avvocato
di fiducia. Inoltre - ha aggiunto - quando sara'
nominato il giudice che si occupera' del caso, e'
possibile che venga fatta richiesta alla Corte
suprema di trasferire il procedimento ad un altro
tribunale in Croazia, perche' quello di Fiume e'
oberato dal lavoro. La magistratura fiumana e'
competente per il caso perche' Abdic, che ha la
cittadinanza croata, e' residente a Fiume, nella
frazione di Volosko. (ANSA). COR*VD

BOSNIA: CRIMINI GUERRA,AUTONOMISTA ABDIC ACCUSATO IN
CROAZIA

(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, 7 GIU - Il
procuratore di Fiume ha formalizzato un atto
d'accusa, per crimini di guerra ai danni di civili e
prigionieri, contro Fikret Abdic, 62 anni,
ex leader musulmano della regione di Velika Kladusa,
nel nord-ovest della Bosnia, di cui aveva proclamato
l'autonomia da Sarajevo
durante la guerra 1992-95. Lo ha reso noto oggi la
stampa di Sarajevo. Dopo la sconfitta, inflitta nel
1995 dall'esercito bosniaco alle sue milizie,
alleate delle forze serbe e anche di quelle croate,
Abdic si e' rifugiato in Croazia, a Fiume, avendo
ottenuto nel frattempo la cittadinanza croata, e
sotto la protezione dell'allora governo nazionalista
del presidente Franjo Tudjman. Nel 1996 le autorita'
bosniache hanno formalizzato per Abdic un
atto d'accusa per crimini di guerra ai danni di
oltre cinque mila detenuti nei campi intorno a
velika Kladusa chiedendo l'estradizione alla Croazia.
Nonostante il Tribunale penale internazionale
dell'Aja avesse autorizzato le autorita' bosniache a
giudicare Abdic e un mandato di cattura
internazionale emesso dall'Interpol, la Croazia non
l'ha mai consegnato. A seguito dell'accordo
bilaterale sulle procedure in materia penale, firmato
recentemente con il nuovo governo di centrosinistra
di Zagabria, le autorita' bosniache hanno rinunciato
alla richiesta di estradizione ed hanno
inoltrato la documentazione relativa alla procura di
Fiume, in base alla quale Abdic e' stato
incriminato. Il procuratore Drago Marincel ha dichiarato

Pro-Yugoslav Muslim Leader Put on Trial

Below we have printed an English
translation of an article from the Yugoslav
newspaper, 'Politika,' reporting on the
trial of Fikret Abdic, the popular Bosnian
Muslim leader.

Abdic was a great embarrassment to the U.S. government.

He was and is popular, arguably the most
popular Muslim leader; he got the most
votes in the 1990 Bosnian elections.

And that was the problem because he was
allied with the Bosnian Serbs. He
supported the concept of Yugoslavia -
a multiethnic state. He fought Alijah
Izetbegovic, the extreme Islamist, installed
and maintained in Sarajevo through U.S.
power and ludicrously misdescribed by the
U.S. and its various operatives as a great
and politically correct democrat.

This gave the lie to the claim, put forth
by chauvinists of various sorts in Bosnia and
by the U.S. and its operatives and the mass
media, that the fighting in Bosnia
resulted from an attempt by Serbian forces
to crush Muslims.

He and his followers set up the Autonomous
Region of Western Bosnia. This area
of Bosnia was steeped in a very strong
partisan and anti-fascist resistance
stemming from the W.W.II struggle against
Nazi occupation in Yugoslavia. 7,000
people, mostly Serbs, were massacred by
the Nazi occupation forces. Former-UN
Secretary General Kurt Waldeheim was
implicated in this massacre.

The Autonomous area, which straddled the
Bosnian and Croatian border, was
populated by Muslims, Serbs, and some
Croats who upheld Yugoslav ideals of
solidarity. Abdic and his followers sided
with those Serbs who wanted to preserve
Yugoslavia and feared the rise of local
fascism backed by the Great Powers. He
fought by the Serbian side in Bosnia until
both the Serbian Republic in Krajina (RSK)
and his own ARWB were crushed by a coordinated
offensive of NATO airstrikes,
and a ground offensive by the 5th Corps of
Alija Izetbegovic's army and the Croatian
regular army (trained and led by the CIA
and the privatized CIA-linked company,
MPRI) thereby launching an ethnic-cleansing
operation that drove 250,000 Serbs
and some 50,000-80,000 Muslims from their
traditional homes.

"Case Opened Against Fikret Abdic"
By: R. Arsenic

Politika (Belgrade)

ZAGREB (June 6, 20001) - After two months
of preparations the regional state
prosecutor in Rijeka initiated a case
against Fikret Abdic, a citizen of B&H and
Croatia, who has been based for a while
now in Opatija, where the HQ of his
company is found. By this act, the
long-standing controversy between Bosnia and
Croatia over the eventual fate of the leader
of the Autonomous Movement for
Western Bosnia - where Abdic has the support
of his own people who followed him
in resistance to the centralism of Alija
Izetbegovic and his SDA.

Fikret Abdic lost that war (even though he
had won in elections), and the Izetbegovic
regime has since accused him of war-crimes
against those who disagreed with his
policies and has asked for Abdic's extradition
from Croatia to which he fled and
whose citizenship he held.

After his military defeat in the region
of Cazinska Krajina and Velika Kladusha at
the hands of the 5th Corps. of the ARBiH
[Alijah Izetbegovic's Islamist army], more
than 50,000 Muslims loyal to Abdic - some
put the figure at 80,000 - moved into the
neighboring Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK)
to seek refuge. This fact proved that
the propaganda claiming that the war was
rooted in an unbridgable gap between
Serbs and Muslims was false, but that
its roots lied somewhere else. Soon after this
the RSK also fell and the fact that Muslims
were escaping from Alija's men and
seeking refuge with the Serbs was quickly
suppressed by those who didn't want to
highlight these truths because they brought
into question already formed stereotypes
of the conflict.

Alija's regime couldn't forgive Fikret's
rebellion, and judging from the available
evidence they also couldn't support his
unquestionable popularity with not only the
people of the region of Cazinska Krajina
(remember that Abdic received the most
votes in Bosnia, but Izetbegovic nonetheless
seized the Presidency in the early
1990s). This is why after the fall of the
Autonomous Region of Western Bosnia that
Croatia received a demand from Bosnia to
extradite Fikret Abdic, who was accused
of having opened a camp near Velika Kladusha
and for the torture of prisoners
within the camp.

According to the statement of Rijeka's
prosecutor Draga Marincela, the case
against Abdic is composed of documents
that were obtained from Bosnia, and is
being raised on the basis of the
international treaty between Croatia and Bosnia
regarding approaches to criminal cases,
and following the Bosnian governments
acceptance of this process.
