To: Mr. Theodor Meron, President,
ICTY, The Hague, The Netherlands

Cc: H.E. Kofi Annan,

           Mr. Meron,

           The ICTY Trial Chamber presided by Mr. Richard May adopted
on 5 February 2004 the Order Scheduling Hearings to the Close of the
Prosecution Case in the process of President Slobodan Milosevic. By the
Order, it was decided that the daily length of all the hearings in the
next two weeks shall be prolonged, so that hearings will be held also
in afternoon hours.

           It is apparent that by ordering the prolongation of the
hearings, the Chamber violates its own, earlier decisions and orders
determining that the hearings shall be held in morning hours only,
adjourning not later than 01:45 p.m. We remind that these earlier
orders were adopted after several specialist medical examinations of
President Milosevic as a consequence of the clear physicians’ warnings
about the serious character of his health condition and about the risks
for his health and life produced by the process itself. Moreover, the
physicians explicitly recommended that the length of the hearings shall
be shortened.

           You are certainly aware that during the whole this week
President Milosevic was ill from flu and that at the time when the
Order was adopted, he has not been recovered yet.

           The situation in which, in spite the several medical reports
and warnings and in spite the current deterioration of Mr. Milosevic’s
health (when it is uncertain whether and when he will be able to
participate in the hearings), without consulting the medical
specialists and severely violating its own decisions, the Chamber
arbitrarily prolongs the length of the hearings, one can characterize
no other way but as direct threat to President Milosevic’s life.

           Therefore we warn you that as the ICTY President you have a
duty to instruct the Chamber to review and abolish this inhumane Order
or to reverse it yourself.

 
On behalf of the Freedom Association Managing Board

Bogoljub Bjelica, President
