procedure of life deprivation of Slobodan Milosevic, him being at
request of the Attorney's Office of the Hague Tribunal, kept in
the Detention Unit of the ICTY in Scheweningen in the Hague;
him being occasionally, ever since February 12, 2002, brought
and kept under surveillance in the court -room in the Hague and
him being returned to the Detention Unit although all of them
knowing that the health condition of Slobodan Milosevic requires
urgent medical treatment outside prison; them depriving
Slobodan Milosevic necessary cardiology specialist treatment
and further care; them doing this persistently and deliberately,
ignoring opinions and recommendations of the physicians
conference from FRY and recommendations of the physicians
Dr. J.W. Crosse and Dr. H.A. Rodrigues from Holland dtd. June
17, 2002, as well as opinions of the Head of the Cardiology Clinic

OUN, i.e.:
"the principles of medical ethics applied to medical stuff,

PERSONALITY."
The Attorney and her Deputies do not propose to the President
of the Court and the Trial Chamber neither the change of

ICTY Stalls Acceptance of Milosevic Committee (ICDSM)
as Amicus Curiae
Comments by Jared Israel, Vice-Chairman, ICDSM
15 November 2002
===================================
Below is a transcript of the cover page, and a link
to the pdf file for the entire text, of the fax the
ICDSM received from The Hague Tribunal (ICTY) on Nov.
6th. The fax was in response to our motion. In that
motion we both applied for amicus curiae status in
the Milosevic proceedings, and stated our proposals
concerning Mr. Milosevic's health and the future
course of the proceedings. The motion can be read at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/motion.htm
The ICTY's response, reproduced below, is reasonable
in tone. But they tell us to rewrite our motion
because, they say, we failed to take into account
"United Nations document number IT/122 which directly
concerns submission of Amicus curiae briefs." They
include the text of IT/122.
Based on this supposed procedure, we have submitted
two more motions, one asking for amicus curiae
status, and a second stating what we want done to
protect Mr. Milosevic. However, note that when Mr.
Richard May, who is in charge of the proceedings
against Mr. Milosevic, asked for submissions
regarding the Yugoslav President's health and the
future conduct of the trial, he said *nothing* about
any rule IT/122. Nor has said rule been mentioned any
other time that we know of. Nor, though we searched
the Tribunal's Website could we locate any such rule.
So we have a new twist in the macabre proceedings of
the ICTY: the secret procedure. This is a rule which
a) must be followed but which b) only appears in
response to an urgent motion filed by the supporters
of the Yugoslav leader whom one is attempting to do
away with, along with the truth.
Let there be no question. Mr. Milosevic's current
life-threatening health emergency results from the
conscious policies of the ICTY. See "Hague Tries to
Quietly Murder Milosevic" at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/more/tries.htm
It is instructive that in the midst of this health
emergency, the guilty party plays procedural games to
stall and thereby exclude those who strongly hold
that Mr. Milosevic is innocent and NATO - sponsor of
the ICTY - is guilty. Mr. Milosevic's life is at
stake. When could it be more true that, "Justice
delayed is justice denied"? (1)
The fax can be read in full in pdf form at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/more/amicus-response.pdf
Here is the first part, the letter from The Hague
Tribunal registry.
-- Jared Israel, ICDSM
***
Dear Mr. Varkevisser,
This letter pertains to your submission as Amicus
Curiae, dated 5 November 2000, directed to Trial
Chamber III in the case, Prosecutor v. Slobodan
Milosevic.

brief; however, pursuant to the general practice of
the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia, an applicant wishing to submit an amicus
brief must file an application with the Registry. The
Registry will then forward the application, along
with this amicus brief to the Trial Chamber for
decision pursuant to Rule 74 of the Rules of
Procedure and Evidence. For more detailed information
please find attached United Nations document number
IT/122 which directly concerns submission of Amicus
curiae briefs.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact this office.
Yours Sincerely,
Signed
Etc.

*****************************************
Help the ICDSM Get our Delegation to The Hague!
*******************************************
Events are moving very fast. On Tuesday SLOBODA, the
Freedom Foundation, which is the ICDSM in Yugoslavia,
filed suit in Belgrade against Prosecutor Carla del
Ponte and seven of her deputies at The Hague
Tribunal. The charge: the attempted murder of
Slobodan Milosevic.
The same day The Hague Tribunal ordered that Slobodan
Milosevic, former President of both Yugoslavia and
Serbia, undergo psychiatric examinations.
This is a new insult to Mr. Milosevic and to the
people of Yugoslavia. Given, on the one hand, the
intelligence and sustained concentration and dignity
with which Mr. Milosevic has solidly defeated an
avalanche of liars, and, on the other hand, the
bizarre behavior of this court, judges and
prosecutors alike, this order for psychiatric
evaluation is misdirected. Physicians: heal
thyselves.
Clearly the Tribunal wishes to find some basis, any
basis, to forbid Slobodan Milosevic the basic human
right to conduct his own defense. Apparently they
hope that some psychiatrist will declare Mr.
Milosevic unfit to represent himself. Hague official
Florence Hartmann suggested yesterday that Mr.
Milosevic could be moved to some outside facility
while they continue these proceedings in his absence.
The ICDSM needs to send a delegation including our
attorney, Tiphaine Dickson, as soon as possible to
The Hague. That delegation will reach the
international media and directly interact with The
Tribunal.
In order to send that delegation *we need your help.*
If you were thinking of making a donation, now is the
time! Now, when The Tribunal is denying Mr. Milosevic
proper health care in order to pressure him to
appoint substitute counsel we need to get our
delegation to The Hague.
For we represent the other side.
We actually believe Slobodan Milosevic is innocent.
The charges against him and the Serbian people are
based on a campaign of lies. We have the facts.
Milosevic has all the facts and that is why they want
so desperately to replace him.
We believe Slobodan Milosevic is 100% right not to
appoint a lawyer to represent him before the
Tribunal. *Not even a lawyer who claims to support
him.*
Why?
Because it is Mr. Milosevic who led Serbia and
Yugoslavia during the period under discussion.
Because no lawyer on earth can - or will dare - to
stand up to this NATO-controlled Tribunal as Mr.
Milosevic has done, to tell the truth without fear of
consequence or career. There is no lawyer who can
demonstrate by his very demeanor, that the Serbs are
innocent and it is NATO, which attacked Yugoslavia
with bombs and lies and by instigating racial hatred,
which is guilty.
Slobodan Milosevic is the national leader who stood
up to NATO. It is a terrible blow for this Tribunal,
NATO's Tribunal, that they have been defeated by him,
day after day, since the trial began in February.
That is why in the proceedings this past Monday, the
three Judges presented every argument to convince Mr.
Milosevic to let some lawyer - any lawyer - replace
him, or partly replace him, or sit with him in court,
or take some step, any step to lessen his direct
impact. To lessen his impact today and to lessen the
impact of the transcripts of these proceedings which
stand as permanent proof that Milosevic told the
truth and NATO lied about the Serbs.
In order to get our delegation to The Hague we need
your financial help. Slobodan Milosevic is making a
great impact. We are making an impact too and with
your help, with your help we can do a hundred times
more to assist him, to defend the truth.

We in the ICDSM have studied the record and we are
convinced that Mr. Milosevic and the Serbian people
have been the victims of a campaign of media lies.
Here are two articles where this is discussed:
1) "KLA Attacks Everyone; Media Attacks...Milosevic?"
by Jared Israel at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/expan.htm
2) "Media Misrepresentation Of Milosevic's Words: A
Review Of The Evidence," by Prof. Francisco Gil-White
at
http://emperors-clothes.com/milo/gw.htm
3) Regarding our charge that the ICTY is NATO's
instrument, see "Official Statements Prove Hague
'Tribunal' Belongs to NATO," at

***
* Concerning Mr. Milosevic's Health *
On 15 July 2002 ICTY 'Judge' Richard May summarized
the findings of the *non-specialist* physicians who
were, finally, permitted to examine Slobodan
Milosevic. Note that the ICDSM and others, including
Yugoslav physicians, had many times requested that
*cardiologists* be permitted to examine the former
Yugoslav President, but this urgent request had been
denied without explanation.
Here are 'Judge' May's own words during the session
of the so-called trail on the 25th:
??We have received a report, a medical report, which in
its conclusion describes the accused as a man with
severe cardiovascular risk which demands careful
future monitoring. The authors recommend that his
workload be reduced??
As the German Nobel Prize winning physicians noted in
their open letter to The Hague, since Judge May made
this statement, the ICTY has done exactly the
opposite.
2) What can be the motivation of The Hague Tribunal
in doing exactly the opposite of what their own
doctors have recommended regarding Mr. Milosevic's
health? It does not take a brain surgeon to figure it
out.
Originally, the "trial" was to be broadcast on TV
worldwide, but when the 'tribunal' realized that
Milosevic was winning (he had the unfair advantage of
truth) the broadcasting was drastically curtailed in
February and then virtually stopped.
His statements and arguments are seldom if ever
quoted in the press. Thus, there has been an obvious
effort to silence him. But their problem is - he has
not been silenced. And they know this record, the
transcripts of these proceedings, cannot be erased.
More and more people will read them and learn that
they were lied to.
Therefore, The Tribunal has essentially instigated
this health crisis, by refusing to act on 'Judge"
May's own July 25th report of the findings of The
Tribunal's own doctors. (1) The idea is to silence
Mr. Milosevic by any means necessary. To replace him
with some attorney or, failing that, to have him
suffer a heart attack or stroke, which they will
describe as ' most regrettable.'

ICDSM Letter to The Hague Tribunal (ICTY)
Specialists Must Examine Slobodan Milosevic Now!
16 November 2002
===================================
International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic
Sloterkade 20 * 1058 HE Amsterdam * The Netherlands
Ph. 31 20 615 1122 Fax: 31 20 615 1120
Mr. Claude Jorda, President MOST URGENT
Mr. Richard May, President Trial Chamber III
Mr. Hans Holtius, Registrar
ICTY
The Hague
The Netherlands
Gentlemen:
Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic suffers from
malignant hypertension which has already damaged his heart
(agina pectoris).
On July 25th a team of non-specialist physicians was finally
permitted to examine President Milosevic. Judge Richard May summarized
their findings as follows:
"We have received a report, a medical report, which in its
conclusion describes the accused as a man with severe cardiovascular
risk which demands careful future monitoring. The authors recommend
that his workload be reduced"
However, subsequently, no cardiologist was called in to examine
President Milosevic. This despite numerous requests from SLOBODA
(Freedom Foundation) in Belgrade, and from medical experts, that
President Milosevic be examined by physicians from the Military
Medical Academy [VMA] in Belgrade who have followed his health for
years.
Moreover, President Milosevic's living and working conditions have
not improved; they have worsened. He receives neither proper food, nor
sufficient rest, nor exercise, nor fresh air, nor clean air, nor
adequate time and facilities to prepare his defense. His workday has
been lengthened.
This has, predictably, exacerbated his malignant hypertension. He
suffered a severe escalation of blood pressure on October 31st. The
proceedings were cancelled on November 1st and Judge May made the
following statement:
"In the light of the state of the accused's health and the length
and complexity of the case, the Trial Chamber is concerned about
completion of the trial, and therefore, we wish to have submission
from the parties on the future conduct of the case in order to ensure
its expeditious conclusion."
We note that the concern expressed here is for the ICTY's
proceedings, not for the life and health of Slobodan Milosevic. This
is consistent with the failure to give President Milosevic proper
medical care throughout his imprisonment and especially since July
25th. This failure of a UN body to provide humane medical care, in
flat violation of UN resolutions, combined with the pressure being
exerted on President Milosevic to appoint counsel, may be construed as
torture: life threatening abuse intended to produce compliance with a
demand, in this case that the President cease conducting his own
defense.
President Milosevic is, first, a human being. He is, second, the
former head of state of both Serbia and Yugoslavia. He led the
resistance to NATO aggression; NATO spokesman Jamie Shea has publicly
boasted [1] that NATO controls the ICTY. President Milosevic was
brought to The Hague in a highly questionable manner; we say,
illegally. It is not only a violation of international law, but it is
a direct assault on the dignity of his office and therefore on the
people of Yugoslavia that Slobodan Milosevic be denied the most basic
human right: proper medical care.
We urge you in the strongest terms to correct this abuse before
your policies cause President Milosevic to suffer a heart attack or
stroke.
Based on consultation with medical experts, we offer you the names of
three of the world's leading cardiologists. We urge you in the
strongest terms to permit these physicians to examine Slobodan
Milosevic in The Hague.
The physicians are:
[Editor's note: At the request of the three physicians we are not
publishing their names at this time. However, the names have been sent
to the ICTY.]
Please, act now, while there is time. You can inform us of your
decision either through our telephone in Amsterdam, 31 20 615 1122,
or by fax, 31 20 615 1120, or by calling SLOBODA (Freedom Association)
in Belgrade.

Subject: SPS: Big protest rally for Milosevic "welcomes" Kofi Annan;
Support for Seselj's candidacy
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 19:19:36 +0100
From: "Vladimir Krsljanin" <vlada@...>
The Socialist Party of Serbia
Head Committee
Belgrade, November 17, 2002
PRESS RELEASE
The Executive Committee of the Socialist Party of Serbia
supported unanimously on its today's session a plan of further
activities to protect life of President Slobodan Milosevic, whose
health has been seriously damaged by the so-called Hague Tribunal
using exhausting rhythm of the process and inhumane life conditions.
Members and organs of SPS on all levels will perform strongest
actions in order to secure for President Milosevic to get back to
Yugoslavia for medical therapy and preparation for the extension of
his struggle for the truth.
The Executive Committee supports the organization of the
protest rally, on invitation of the National Committee "Sloboda"
(Freedom), which will be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 03:00 p.m.
on the Republic Square in Belgrade, on the occasion of the visit of
the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. All SPS members and all citizens
are invited to take part and to express clearly the demand to stop
the crime against Slobodan Milosevic.
Starting from the fact that DOS regime prevented the
candidacy of President Slobodan Milosevic, who has the largest
respect and support of the people and underlying that the policy of
peoples' unity, advocated for years by SPS, is the only policy
capable to return freedom and prospective to the people, the
Executive Committee in agreement with President Milosevic adopted a
position that Dr Vojislav Seselj has to be supported as common
candidate of the opposition. In adoption of this position, has also
been taken into account the fact that Dr Vojislav Seselj publicly
accepted to act as a common candidate of the patriotic opposition, on
the basis of the policy of peoples' unity.

procedure of life deprivation of Slobodan Milosevic, him being at
request of the Attorney's Office of the Hague Tribunal, kept in
the Detention Unit of the ICTY in Scheweningen in the Hague;
him being occasionally, ever since February 12, 2002, brought
and kept under surveillance in the court -room in the Hague and
him being returned to the Detention Unit although all of them
knowing that the health condition of Slobodan Milosevic requires
urgent medical treatment outside prison; them depriving
Slobodan Milosevic necessary cardiology specialist treatment
and further care; them doing this persistently and deliberately,
ignoring opinions and recommendations of the physicians
conference from FRY and recommendations of the physicians
Dr. J.W. Crosse and Dr. H.A. Rodrigues from Holland dtd. June
17, 2002, as well as opinions of the Head of the Cardiology Clinic

OUN, i.e.:
"the principles of medical ethics applied to medical stuff,

PERSONALITY."
The Attorney and her Deputies do not propose to the President
of the Court and the Trial Chamber neither the change of

ICTY Stalls Acceptance of Milosevic Committee (ICDSM)
as Amicus Curiae
Comments by Jared Israel, Vice-Chairman, ICDSM
15 November 2002
===================================
Below is a transcript of the cover page, and a link
to the pdf file for the entire text, of the fax the
ICDSM received from The Hague Tribunal (ICTY) on Nov.
6th. The fax was in response to our motion. In that
motion we both applied for amicus curiae status in
the Milosevic proceedings, and stated our proposals
concerning Mr. Milosevic's health and the future
course of the proceedings. The motion can be read at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/motion.htm
The ICTY's response, reproduced below, is reasonable
in tone. But they tell us to rewrite our motion
because, they say, we failed to take into account
"United Nations document number IT/122 which directly
concerns submission of Amicus curiae briefs." They
include the text of IT/122.
Based on this supposed procedure, we have submitted
two more motions, one asking for amicus curiae
status, and a second stating what we want done to
protect Mr. Milosevic. However, note that when Mr.
Richard May, who is in charge of the proceedings
against Mr. Milosevic, asked for submissions
regarding the Yugoslav President's health and the
future conduct of the trial, he said *nothing* about
any rule IT/122. Nor has said rule been mentioned any
other time that we know of. Nor, though we searched
the Tribunal's Website could we locate any such rule.
So we have a new twist in the macabre proceedings of
the ICTY: the secret procedure. This is a rule which
a) must be followed but which b) only appears in
response to an urgent motion filed by the supporters
of the Yugoslav leader whom one is attempting to do
away with, along with the truth.
Let there be no question. Mr. Milosevic's current
life-threatening health emergency results from the
conscious policies of the ICTY. See "Hague Tries to
Quietly Murder Milosevic" at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/more/tries.htm
It is instructive that in the midst of this health
emergency, the guilty party plays procedural games to
stall and thereby exclude those who strongly hold
that Mr. Milosevic is innocent and NATO - sponsor of
the ICTY - is guilty. Mr. Milosevic's life is at
stake. When could it be more true that, "Justice
delayed is justice denied"? (1)
The fax can be read in full in pdf form at

Here is the first part, the letter from The Hague
Tribunal registry.
-- Jared Israel, ICDSM
***
Dear Mr. Varkevisser,
This letter pertains to your submission as Amicus
Curiae, dated 5 November 2000, directed to Trial
Chamber III in the case, Prosecutor v. Slobodan
Milosevic.

brief; however, pursuant to the general practice of
the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia, an applicant wishing to submit an amicus
brief must file an application with the Registry. The
Registry will then forward the application, along
with this amicus brief to the Trial Chamber for
decision pursuant to Rule 74 of the Rules of
Procedure and Evidence. For more detailed information
please find attached United Nations document number
IT/122 which directly concerns submission of Amicus
curiae briefs.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact this office.
Yours Sincerely,
Signed

*****************************************
Help the ICDSM Get our Delegation to The Hague!
*******************************************
Events are moving very fast. On Tuesday SLOBODA, the
Freedom Foundation, which is the ICDSM in Yugoslavia,
filed suit in Belgrade against Prosecutor Carla del
Ponte and seven of her deputies at The Hague
Tribunal. The charge: the attempted murder of
Slobodan Milosevic.
The same day The Hague Tribunal ordered that Slobodan
Milosevic, former President of both Yugoslavia and
Serbia, undergo psychiatric examinations.
This is a new insult to Mr. Milosevic and to the
people of Yugoslavia. Given, on the one hand, the
intelligence and sustained concentration and dignity
with which Mr. Milosevic has solidly defeated an
avalanche of liars, and, on the other hand, the
bizarre behavior of this court, judges and
prosecutors alike, this order for psychiatric
evaluation is misdirected. Physicians: heal
thyselves.
Clearly the Tribunal wishes to find some basis, any
basis, to forbid Slobodan Milosevic the basic human
right to conduct his own defense. Apparently they
hope that some psychiatrist will declare Mr.
Milosevic unfit to represent himself. Hague official
Florence Hartmann suggested yesterday that Mr.
Milosevic could be moved to some outside facility
while they continue these proceedings in his absence.
The ICDSM needs to send a delegation including our
attorney, Tiphaine Dickson, as soon as possible to
The Hague. That delegation will reach the
international media and directly interact with The
Tribunal.
In order to send that delegation *we need your help.*
If you were thinking of making a donation, now is the
time! Now, when The Tribunal is denying Mr. Milosevic
proper health care in order to pressure him to
appoint substitute counsel we need to get our
delegation to The Hague.
For we represent the other side.
We actually believe Slobodan Milosevic is innocent.
The charges against him and the Serbian people are
based on a campaign of lies. We have the facts.
Milosevic has all the facts and that is why they want
so desperately to replace him.
We believe Slobodan Milosevic is 100% right not to
appoint a lawyer to represent him before the
Tribunal. *Not even a lawyer who claims to support
him.*
Why?
Because it is Mr. Milosevic who led Serbia and
Yugoslavia during the period under discussion.
Because no lawyer on earth can - or will dare - to
stand up to this NATO-controlled Tribunal as Mr.
Milosevic has done, to tell the truth without fear of
consequence or career. There is no lawyer who can
demonstrate by his very demeanor, that the Serbs are
innocent and it is NATO, which attacked Yugoslavia
with bombs and lies and by instigating racial hatred,
which is guilty.
Slobodan Milosevic is the national leader who stood
up to NATO. It is a terrible blow for this Tribunal,
NATO's Tribunal, that they have been defeated by him,
day after day, since the trial began in February.
That is why in the proceedings this past Monday, the
three Judges presented every argument to convince Mr.
Milosevic to let some lawyer - any lawyer - replace
him, or partly replace him, or sit with him in court,
or take some step, any step to lessen his direct
impact. To lessen his impact today and to lessen the
impact of the transcripts of these proceedings which
stand as permanent proof that Milosevic told the
truth and NATO lied about the Serbs.
In order to get our delegation to The Hague we need
your financial help. Slobodan Milosevic is making a
great impact. We are making an impact too and with
your help, with your help we can do a hundred times
more to assist him, to defend the truth.

We in the ICDSM have studied the record and we are
convinced that Mr. Milosevic and the Serbian people
have been the victims of a campaign of media lies.
Here are two articles where this is discussed:
1) "KLA Attacks Everyone; Media Attacks...Milosevic?"
by Jared Israel at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/expan.htm
2) "Media Misrepresentation Of Milosevic's Words: A
Review Of The Evidence," by Prof. Francisco Gil-White

instrument, see "Official Statements Prove Hague
'Tribunal' Belongs to NATO," at

***
* Concerning Mr. Milosevic's Health *
On 15 July 2002 ICTY 'Judge' Richard May summarized
the findings of the *non-specialist* physicians who
were, finally, permitted to examine Slobodan
Milosevic. Note that the ICDSM and others, including
Yugoslav physicians, had many times requested that
*cardiologists* be permitted to examine the former
Yugoslav President, but this urgent request had been
denied without explanation.
Here are 'Judge' May's own words during the session
of the so-called trail on the 25th:
??We have received a report, a medical report, which in
its conclusion describes the accused as a man with
severe cardiovascular risk which demands careful
future monitoring. The authors recommend that his
workload be reduced??
As the German Nobel Prize winning physicians noted in
their open letter to The Hague, since Judge May made
this statement, the ICTY has done exactly the
opposite.
2) What can be the motivation of The Hague Tribunal
in doing exactly the opposite of what their own
doctors have recommended regarding Mr. Milosevic's
health? It does not take a brain surgeon to figure it
out.
Originally, the "trial" was to be broadcast on TV
worldwide, but when the 'tribunal' realized that
Milosevic was winning (he had the unfair advantage of
truth) the broadcasting was drastically curtailed in
February and then virtually stopped.
His statements and arguments are seldom if ever
quoted in the press. Thus, there has been an obvious
effort to silence him. But their problem is - he has
not been silenced. And they know this record, the
transcripts of these proceedings, cannot be erased.
More and more people will read them and learn that
they were lied to.
Therefore, The Tribunal has essentially instigated
this health crisis, by refusing to act on 'Judge"
May's own July 25th report of the findings of The
Tribunal's own doctors. (1) The idea is to silence
Mr. Milosevic by any means necessary. To replace him
with some attorney or, failing that, to have him
suffer a heart attack or stroke, which they will
describe as ' most regrettable.'

ICDSM Letter to The Hague Tribunal (ICTY)
Specialists Must Examine Slobodan Milosevic Now!
16 November 2002
===================================
International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic
Sloterkade 20 * 1058 HE Amsterdam * The Netherlands
Ph. 31 20 615 1122 Fax: 31 20 615 1120
Mr. Claude Jorda, President MOST URGENT
Mr. Richard May, President Trial Chamber III
Mr. Hans Holtius, Registrar
ICTY
The Hague
The Netherlands
Gentlemen:
Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic suffers from
malignant hypertension which has already damaged his heart
(agina pectoris).
On July 25th a team of non-specialist physicians was finally
permitted to examine President Milosevic. Judge Richard May summarized
their findings as follows:
"We have received a report, a medical report, which in its
conclusion describes the accused as a man with severe cardiovascular
risk which demands careful future monitoring. The authors recommend
that his workload be reduced"
However, subsequently, no cardiologist was called in to examine
President Milosevic. This despite numerous requests from SLOBODA
(Freedom Foundation) in Belgrade, and from medical experts, that
President Milosevic be examined by physicians from the Military
Medical Academy [VMA] in Belgrade who have followed his health for
years.
Moreover, President Milosevic's living and working conditions have
not improved; they have worsened. He receives neither proper food, nor
sufficient rest, nor exercise, nor fresh air, nor clean air, nor
adequate time and facilities to prepare his defense. His workday has
been lengthened.
This has, predictably, exacerbated his malignant hypertension. He
suffered a severe escalation of blood pressure on October 31st. The
proceedings were cancelled on November 1st and Judge May made the
following statement:
"In the light of the state of the accused's health and the length
and complexity of the case, the Trial Chamber is concerned about
completion of the trial, and therefore, we wish to have submission
from the parties on the future conduct of the case in order to ensure
its expeditious conclusion."
We note that the concern expressed here is for the ICTY's
proceedings, not for the life and health of Slobodan Milosevic. This
is consistent with the failure to give President Milosevic proper
medical care throughout his imprisonment and especially since July
25th. This failure of a UN body to provide humane medical care, in
flat violation of UN resolutions, combined with the pressure being
exerted on President Milosevic to appoint counsel, may be construed as
torture: life threatening abuse intended to produce compliance with a
demand, in this case that the President cease conducting his own
defense.
President Milosevic is, first, a human being. He is, second, the
former head of state of both Serbia and Yugoslavia. He led the
resistance to NATO aggression; NATO spokesman Jamie Shea has publicly
boasted [1] that NATO controls the ICTY. President Milosevic was
brought to The Hague in a highly questionable manner; we say,
illegally. It is not only a violation of international law, but it is
a direct assault on the dignity of his office and therefore on the
people of Yugoslavia that Slobodan Milosevic be denied the most basic
human right: proper medical care.
We urge you in the strongest terms to correct this abuse before
your policies cause President Milosevic to suffer a heart attack or
stroke.
Based on consultation with medical experts, we offer you the names of
three of the world's leading cardiologists. We urge you in the
strongest terms to permit these physicians to examine Slobodan
Milosevic in The Hague.
The physicians are:
[Editor's note: At the request of the three physicians we are not
publishing their names at this time. However, the names have been sent
to the ICTY.]
Please, act now, while there is time. You can inform us of your
decision either through our telephone in Amsterdam, 31 20 615 1122,
or by fax, 31 20 615 1120, or by calling SLOBODA (Freedom Association)
in Belgrade.

Yugoslavia for medical therapy and preparation for the extension of
his struggle for the truth.
The Executive Committee supports the organization of the
protest rally, on invitation of the National Committee "Sloboda"
(Freedom), which will be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 03:00 p.m.
on the Republic Square in Belgrade, on the occasion of the visit of
the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. All SPS members and all citizens
are invited to take part and to express clearly the demand to stop
the crime against Slobodan Milosevic.
Starting from the fact that DOS regime prevented the
candidacy of President Slobodan Milosevic, who has the largest
respect and support of the people and underlying that the policy of
peoples' unity, advocated for years by SPS, is the only policy
capable to return freedom and prospective to the people, the
Executive Committee in agreement with President Milosevic adopted a
position that Dr Vojislav Seselj has to be supported as common
candidate of the opposition. In adoption of this position, has also
been taken into account the fact that Dr Vojislav Seselj publicly
accepted to act as a common candidate of the patriotic opposition, on
the basis of the policy of peoples' unity.
