SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC
FUND RAISING APPEAL
TO ALL PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT
SOVEREIGNTY AND JUSTICE
Dear friends,
· The first phase of the heroic
struggle of President Milosevic
against the ruthless NATO machinery at
The Hague is about to finish. The
so-called "prosecution case on Kosovo"
is being finished without any
evidence. Our common demand is - stop
that dangerous farce and admit the
truth visible to everybody - even
according to the Rules of the
so-called "tribunal", there is no
ground to continue!
· Knowing the enemy - we can not
count on justice. If the clear and
well-founded demand to free Slobodan
Milosevic is not accepted, the big
question is how to proceed?
· All our achievements in preparing
the facts necessary to support
President Milosevic's struggle until
now has been based on voluntary work
and the submissions of Yugoslav
patriots. Our small funds have been
barely enough to cover the stay at The
Hague of one legal assistant to
President Milosevic. The financial
situation of the kidnapped President
Milosevic and his support team (The
Freedom Association - The Yugoslav
Committee) is much worse than the
situation of any other Hague
prisoners, because their lawyers
recognize the "tribunal" and receive
substantial financial backing from it.
Our resources will be completely
insufficient to continue!
· The next phase requires parallel
work on the "prosecution case on
Croatia and Bosnia", an analysis of
the whole completed part of the
"process", the preparation of Yugoslav
and foreign witnesses for the "defense
case" (planned to start at mid-May
2003) - which means interviews
sometimes linked with travel abroad,
collection of documents, and finally
covering of the expenses of witnesses
at The Hague. For all this to be
accomplished we would need at least
100.000 EUR every month.
· The Belgrade regime, in contrast
to the behavior of any normal
government and despite the
Constitutional obligation to help it's
citizens in legal need abroad, and in
contrast even to Croatia and both
entities of Bosnia, is not only
leaving us without any financial
support nor access to state archives,
but is producing obstacles to the
defense of President Milosevic at
every step.
· That's why we need organized fund
raising actions and serious donations
from abroad. Please contact us if any
further clarification is needed.

A Balkans Woman for Mr. Slobodan Milosevic
Letter to Slobodan Milosevic for his birthday
Blagovesta Doncheva
Sofia, 21 August 2002
In my eyes Mr. Milosevic is a HERO.
He has been the ONLY one of the Balkans countries'
leaders who has resisted the IMF, WB and US-NATO,
and has stood by the sovereignty of his country.
It would have been much more easier and PROFITABLE
for him to cave to the Globo Cop: now he would have
been in Belgrade still a leader, protected and
patted condescendingly on the back by the Globo
Monster instead of being shut in a cell far from
his country and family for having dared to love
better his country than the money of his Torturers.
He is the ONLY statesman who has resisted the
US-NATO in the world till that moment.
His behaviour till now is a proof for me that he is
a man of integrity, a very rare quality in a leader
of nowadays.
Besides he is a PATRIOT. He has proved to all and
sundry he loves his country and his people better
that his wellbeing.
He might have done mistakes - after all, he is only
a human being and "to err is human". But all his
mistakes - notwithstanding what they are - pale
away in comparison of what he has done for his
country, for the Balkans, for the world in general
by daring to resist the Empire of Evil.
(Besides, ONLY his people have the right to blame
him and demand explanations from him!)
Now, after he is in the hands of Globo Cop's
Personal Court and there they can do to him what
They like, he is no more responsible for his
actions.
Notwithstanding the developments from now on - his
behaviour from now on - I will continue to RESPECT
him, will continue to look up to him and be deeply
grateful to him.
For the HOPE he has given me and kept in me during
those terrible 78 or 79 days of the barbarous
bombing of a his country!
And also for the courage to resist the IMF and the
WB vultures sucking out the country he has been a
leader of!
I will NEVER forget that he has had the personal
misfortune to be a LEADER of a country in the most
difficult and tragic period of its history: when
outward forces have been DELIBERATELY killing it.
He has tried to keep it whole, to protect its
people by standing up against the DESTRUCTIVE
forces cutting his country into easily manipulated
protectorates on ethnic principle. Resisting their
plans and APPETITES he, of course, has committed a
crime against THEM, a crime that should be punished
and be a good lesson for everybody else that might
dare to do the same.
Mr. Milosevic has proved many times he is a leader
with a strong feeling of RESPONSIBILITY for his
people, his country, the Balkans, the world. And he
has had the COURAGE to demonstrate it in the most
tragic days of the contemporary world history.
I will NEVER stop ADMIRING him.

RUSSIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS DEMAND RELEASE OF SLOBODAN
MILOSEVIC BECAUSE OF HIS IMPAIRED HEALTH
MOSCOW, July 25, 2002. /From RIA Novosti correspondent
Pavel Shevtsov/. The commission on Yugoslavia of the
State Duma (lower house of parliament) of Russia has
demanded "an end to the judicial brutality against
Slobodan Milosevic, his immediate release and urgent
provision of effective medical treatment." This is
said in a statement circulated in the State Duma on
Thursday by the commission and signed by its chairman
Nikolai Ryzhkov.
As is noted in the document, "Milosevic's condition
began to deteriorate right after his arrest on March
31, 2001". "Even then many supposed it was the result
of a purposeful effort against the health of the
former head of the Yugoslav state," the statement
says.
"The condition worsened after Milosevic was kidnapped
in June 2001 by orders of the unlawful Hague
Tribunal," the commission notes in its statement. In
the view of deputies, the decision to extend court
hearings "has inevitably led to a situation when
Milosevic is deprived of proper rest". "He is banned
from having fresh-air strolls while his attending
doctor has until recently been denied access to him,"
the document says.
In the parliamentary commission's opinion, "this is in
effect a form of torture aimed at breaking down the
will of the leader of Yugoslavia's patriotic forces".
As an inevitable result, he has been having over the
past week a steadily high life-threatening arterial
pressure.
"The Hague Tribunal is assuming responsibility by
continuing to mock at the former head of the Yugoslav
state," the statement stresses.

International Conference
"Slobodan Milosevic as a Symbol of Anti-Globalism"
25 June 2002
Held at the International Association of Peace
Foundations
10, Prechistenka Str., Moscow, Russia
Statement
We, participants in the Conference marking the
first anniversary of the criminal kidnapping
of Slobodan Milosevic on orders of NATO's
tribunal in The Hague, declare the following:
Events of the past year, particularly
developments at the 'trial' of Slobodan
Milosevic, have confirmed that the forces of
Globalisation are trying to use the mechanisms
of international justice to intervene in the
internal affairs of any country in the world.
Yugoslavia has been turned into a testing
ground for all kinds of new military and
political technologies directed at subjugating
peoples of the world to the power of an
illegal, US-based "world government".
At first Western-created, Albanian terrorist
organizations were used in Kosovo against
Yugoslavia. When this attack was defeated,
NATO launched open military aggression in
gross violation of the UN Charter and other
norms of international law. At the same time,
they employed their "weapon of law," The Hague
'tribunal,' part of the repressive machinery
of the Western world.
President Milosevic is not being tried by a
tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, set up to
impartially investigate the true causes and
consequences of the tragedy that has befallen
the peoples of the former Yugoslavia. Rather,
this is a tribunal against Yugoslavia, set up
by the guilty to justify and continue their
policies of destruction while blaming and
punishing the innocent, Yugoslavia's leader
who resisted their illegal intervention.
Slobodan Milosevic is being prosecuted because
he defeated the attempts of the West to
suppress Yugoslavia's commitment to freedom
and independence. This creates a chilling
precedent. Dozens of countries have already
been proclaimed "supporters of terrorism".
They may also become victims of aggression,
and their leaders might be tomorrow's war
criminals. Slobodan Milosevic fought against
terrorism, but he is condemned today by those
who fostered ethnic conflict and launched
terrorist organizations with the purpose of
establishing a "New World Order ".
For the second time in the last 60 years the
world faces aggression aimed at global
domination. It is a new version of Nazism.
Just as the Nazis persecuted Dimitrov in 1933,
now NATO tries to condemn the leader of
resistance to neo-Nazi ideology and practice.
False "witnesses" are routinely called by this
court which psychologically and physically
tortures Slobodan Milosevic. Deprived of
proper facilities to prepare, he is compelled
to participate in endless sessions, day-in and
day-out, so that he is also deprived of proper
rest.
Shocked by Slobodan Milosevic's power and
persuasiveness, the Western countries have
launched a conspiracy of silence, taking the
'trial' off television. All this confirms the
utter failure of their 'tribunal' to justify
their accusations against Slobodan Milosevic.
The issue here is not merely the defense of an
individual. This false 'tribunal' destroys the
UN's authority and the very system of
international law. Therefore, by defending
Slobodan Milosevic we assert the rights of all
peoples to national dignity and national
sovereignty. We are convinced that our
struggle will the enjoy growing support of
honest people worldwide.
The Conference notes with satisfaction that
the campaign demanding the liquidation of the
shameful Hague 'tribunal' is intensifying. For
instance, the State Duma of the Russian
Federation has repeatedly adopted resolutions
condemning its activity.
The Conference calls on the international
public to apply pressure on the governments of
the UN Security Council member states that
illegally created The Hague 'tribunal' so that
this body, which discredits the very idea of
international justice, may be shut down. We
support proposals to start an international
petition campaign demanding the 'tribunal' be
abolished.
We call on a broad range of public
organizations to take part in the struggle in
defense of Slobodan Milosevic, as it is an
integral part of the struggle for peace,
freedom and independence of the peoples,
against evil globalisation.
We demand the immediate release of Slobodan
Milosevic! We are going to continue this
struggle until he walks free.
The truth is on our side! We are confident of
a victory!
