Subject: Appeal again! Read the ICTY President's reply to SLOBODA.
APPEAL AGAIN WITH FULL STRENGTH!
NATO criminals are trying to drown all your appeals!
NATO + Hague Tribunal = Farewell to human
rights!
Attempted murder continues! One has to be happy because their therapy "reduces
the possibility of death by 11 percent"!
The so-called Trial Chamber III of the Hague Tribunal made up to now no formal
decision on the life of President Milosevic. Instead, they will discuss
"administrative issues" on December 18, 2002. For accountants of death, life is
nothing else but an administrative issue.
Demonstrate your disagreement with murder before that date!
Obviously somebody already signed a silent death verdict. Here is the proof - a
letter from the President of the Tribunal:
United Nations
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
H. E. Judge Claude Jorda
President
The Hague, 27 November 2002
Dear Mr Raicevic,
I received your correspondence dated 13 October 2002 in which you
share your concerns about Mr Milosevic's medical condition and request his
provisional release so that he may receive appropriate medical treatment in the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
I wish firstly to inform you that your request does not fall within
the province of the President of the International Tribunal. Pursuant to Rules
65 and 74 bis of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, it is for the Trial Chamber seized
of the case to order the medical examination of an accused and to rule on
requests for provisional release. I am taking the liberty of pointing out to you
that Trial Chamber III ruled on the matter on 6 March 2002.
Moreover, the question of organising the hearings is the
responsibility of the Trial Chamber which ensures the proper conduct of the
proceedings with respect for the rights and health of the accused. In this
respect, Trial Chamber III is taking due consideration of Mr Milosevic's medical
condition when scheduling the hearings. Furthermore, like all the detainees, Mr
Milosevic is receiving close medical attention of a high quality from the
medical staff of the United Nations Detention Centre. As Registrar of the
Tribunal, Mr Holthuis is following the situation closely and will, if necessary,
keep you informed of changes in Mr Milosevic's medical condition.
Yours sincerely,
/signed/

What is the March 6 decision? Their refusal of the first request for provisional
release, which was NOT connected with the health situation, seriously
deteriorated in the mean time.
What is high quality close medical attention? It is STILL one visit of the
prison doctor in a week. AND daily visit of the nurse who brings a pill. AND
there is no even nurse during the weekends.
What is the medical staff of the United Nations Detention Centre? It is one
doctor and one nurse.
Yes, they did something more. The Trial Chamber III appointed Dr P.R.M. van
Dijkman, cardiologist from Bronovo Hospital at The Hague to write a report. So,
on November 15 President Milosevic has been examined by a cardiologist for FIRST
and ONLY time. And a report has been written.
Here are several lines from THAT report:
"Cardiac case history: Essential hypertension with secondary organ damage:
hypertrophy of the left ventricle. (...)
In recent weeks during trial again steep increase in blood pressure up to around
220/130 mmHg. (...)
During the tiring process of the trial, Mr Milosevic experiences a condition
that looks like hypertensive urgency. (...)
The treatment of increased blood pressure with medication generally reduces the
possibility of death by 11 percent, of coronary heart disease by 14 percent, of
cerebovascular accident by 33 percent and of vascular diseases (coronary heart
disease or CVA) by 22 percent. (Source: Revised Guidelines for Increased Blood
Pressure, CBO Quality Institute for Health Care). (...)
It can be concluded that with a combination of sufficient rest and medication,
the level of Mr Milosevic's blood pressure will be an acceptable one. (...)
However, it has become apparent time and again during the trial that there are
moments which cause Mr. Milosevic's blood pressure to "get out of hand".
My advice on the matter as formulated in the letter of 19 August 2002 remains
unchanged: sufficient rest periods in combination with antihypertensive
medication to keep the blood pressure at an acceptable level. (...)
I leave it to the Tribunal to decide in what way sufficient rest periods can be
incorporated into the trial. "

Russian MPs urge UN to allow Russian medics to examine
ailing Milosevic
-"The Duma considers it a priority that political
prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo medical tests
administered by Yugoslav doctors and other
specialists," read the resolution adopted unanimously
by parliament's lower house.
MOSCOW, Dec 11 (AFP) - Russia's parliament on
Wednesday urged the UN war crimes tribunal in the
Hague to allow a team of Russian and Yugoslav doctors
to examine former Yugoslav president Slobodan
Milosevic, who has complained of worsening health
since his trial opened in February.
"The Duma considers it a priority that political
prisoner Slobodan Milosevic undergo medical tests
administered by Yugoslav doctors and other
specialists," read the resolution adopted unanimously
by parliament's lower house.
It also urged the Kremlin to send "to the Hague
qualified Russian doctors to take part in Slobodan
Milosevic's medical examination."
Milosevic, 61, has fallen ill five times since
February, disrupting his trial on dozens of war crimes
charges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.
The former strongman has refused to undergo
psychiatric tests for "mental strain", but medical
checks showed that he suffers from high blood pressure
and is at risk of a heart attack.
Russian deputies urged further medical exams because
"the arterial hypertension associated with Slobodan
Milosevic's cardiovascular illness threatens his
life."
While the court's prosecution has some 60 people
helping its side, Milosevic has undertaken his own
defense against some 66 charges of war crimes and
crimes against humanity for his involvement in the
wars in Kosovo (1998-99), Croatia (1991-95) and
Bosnia-Hercegovina (1992-95).
If convicted, the former president could spend the
rest of his life behind bars.
Russia backed Milosevic -- with reservations --
throughout the Balkan wars of the 1990s before finally
rallying behind current President Vojislav Kostunica,
who defeated Milosevic in the 2000 elections.
Russian Communists and nationalists, and leading
Russian politicians such as former prime minister
Yevgeny Primakov, have repeatedly voiced support for
Milosevic and Moscow has expressed deep reservations
about his trial.
