-Caveat Lector- NEWS ADVISORY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday June 23, 2001 Croatian Nazi Party Faces Its Final Battle in a United States Courtroom Jonathan Levy - Tom Easton Attorneys TEL. 513-528-0586 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vaticanbankclaims.com The Croatian Liberation Movement or Hrvatski Oslobodilacki Pokret (HOP) is the direct successor to the Ustashe movement, which slaughtered over 500,000 Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies during WWII in Yugoslavia. Founded in 1956 in Buenos Aires, Argentina by the Butcher of the Balkans, the Ustashe leader Ante Pavelic, perhaps the greatest mass murderer to ever go unpunished, the Croatian Liberation Movement flourished in South America, Australia, and North America until 1993 when it largely relocated to Croatia. In 1999, survivors of World War II atrocities in Croatia and Bosnia filed a class action lawsuit against the Croatian Liberation Movement in Federal Court in San Francisco. The survivors sought the return of wartime plunder used by the Croatian Liberation Movement to fund its post war activities. While the combative Croatian Liberation Movement publicly stated in 1999, "Antifascism is a lasting, reliable and merciless enemy of Croat freedom and separate identity! Because of that, let us kill off antifascism, and exterminate "victims of fascism" wherever they may be! That will resolve all our problems." They did not respond to the lawsuit, despite service of process being completed three times on the organization in Zagreb. In March 2001, the Clerk of the Federal Court entered a default against the Croatian Liberation Movement and the matter is now before Judge Maxine Chesney to decide the fate of the HOP. Attorney Jonathan Levy who represents Serb, Jewish, and Ukrainian plaintiffs in the lawsuit hopes that the verdict will put the Croatian Liberation Movement out of business once and for all. Levy said, "The Croatian Liberation Movement is the last functioning Nazi Party from Hitler's time, it is still active in Croatian politics spreading it hatred of Serbs and Jews, in 1999 it called for the death of the few survivors of its reign of terror, a swift multimillion dollar verdict from the court will allow us to shut them down once and for all." According to the Zagreb Jewish community two Catholic churches (in Zagreb and Split) continue to be used to propagate Pavelic's ideology and his Ustashe movement. 'It has become common practice to hold services for Pavelic when followers of his political ideas get together.' The class action lawsuit goes even further and implicates the Franciscan Order and the Marian shrine at Medjugorje as two other sources of the Ustashe revival. A ruling from the court is expected this summer. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
