ICDSM APPEAL :
DEMAND THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL STOP THE DANGEROUS
FARCE AT THE HAGUE !
Dear friends,
Please support concretely the following ICDSM appeal.
The situation is dramatic. Behind the UN insignia NATO
criminals are attempting another crime: to silence the
voice of freedom, dignity and consciousness. Let us
not allow them to avoid their final defeat from
president Milosevic. At the moment, 77% of Yugoslav
citizens support president Milosevic. That amount of
support is far above any other individual, party or
institution. The puppets in Belgrade are in panic!
Vladimir Krsljanin
International Secretary of the
Socialist Party of Serbia

APPEAL TO PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER:
DEMAND THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL STOP
THE DANGEROUS FARCE AT THE HAGUE !
At the start of today's (Feb. 26) session of his
so-called trial at The Hague, President Slobodan
Milosevic said:
"There is no kind of equality when one side has only a
telephone and the other has organization,
institutions, secret services, governments, and he
mass media. And even my telephone was mysteriously not
working yesterday afternoon. That is why I again
repeat the demand for you to release me so that I may
have some semblance of equality in this process and...
"
Before President Milosevic could finish, Judge May
turned off his microphone.
The 'tribunal' has made clear that its strategy for
answering President Milosevic's unanswerable charges
against NATO is to silence him, hysically exhausting
him with abusive conditions and an endless stream of
obviously lying witnesses.
We urge all who care about justice to protest these
attacks. Show Slobodan Milosevic and NATO's 'tribunal'
that he is not alone.
Recently, a Radio Netherlands journalist wrote:
"The performance Slobodan Milosevic is putting up at
his trial for war crimes and genocide in The Hague -
alone, without a lawyer to defend him - has earned him
admiration and respect - not just among his
supporters, but in the Belgrade newspapers and the
Serb public as a whole. As one newspaper put it:
'Milosevic -1, The Hague - 0.'" (Radio Netherlands,
February 22, 2002,
http://www.rnw.nl/hotspots/html/icty020222.html )
It is not only the brilliance of Slobodan Milosevic's
presentation and cross-examination that took the world
by storm. It is the content. He has forced people
previously fooled by NATO's cartoon-babble about
'humanitarian bombing' and 'collateral damage,' to
face reality. NATO still sponsors the KLA and other
terrorists. It destroyed multiethnic life in Kosovo.
It deliberately murdered thousands in an effort to
terrorize Yugoslavia into surrender.
President Milosevic's style, intelligence and
political message simply do not fit the fabricated
media image of 'another new Hitler.'
"To the outside world, used to Slobodan Milosevic
being referred to as the 'Butcher of the Balkans', his
courtroom performance has come as a surprise. Is this
man they've seen depicted in political cartoons in
their newspapers�?" (Radio Netherlands)
Those of us who labor to counter media lies about
Yugoslavia asked ourselves: has NATO made a disastrous
error? Have they, inadvertently and at long last given
truth a platform? How can NATO possibly answer
Slobodan Milosevic?
After two weeks, we know their strategy. They are
trying to silence him.
First, the foreign policy establishments of the NATO
countries are using their stranglehold on the media to
guarantee one-sided coverage of the 'trial.' Thus, a
newspaper will report the claims of a 'witness' but
not report the details of President Milosevic's
devastating cross-examination.
And second, the 'tribunal' is doing everything it can
to physically exhaust Slobodan Milosevic and
eventually, they hope, lower his morale.
Example - the Dutch government, obviously on orders
from the 'tribunal', has refused to give a visa to
Mira Markovic, President Milosevic's wife.
Example - He is awakened every day at 7am even though
the 'trial' doesn't start until 9:30 and his cell is
only a few minutes from the 'tribunal.'
Example - Last Thursday, he was kept waiting 2 and a
half hours after the proceedings ended because the
'tribunal' claimed it couldn't find a vehicle to take
him back to the World War II Nazi prison where he is
incarcerated.
Example - He is not permitted to exercise or even to
walk outside when the 'tribunal' is in session.
And perhaps worst of all, the 'tribunal' is using
every trick to drag out the nightmarish process.
Most 'tribunal' proceedings last a few days or weeks.
This one is projected to go two years, or longer, with
President Milosevic forced to listen to an endless
stream of ridiculous, obviously false witnesses.
For example, on Monday, February 25, President
Milosevic cross-examined Halil Morina. Morina claimed
Yugoslav soldiers wantonly attacked his village of
Landovice on March 26, 1999.
President Milosevic challenged him: ''Wasn't what
happened in Landovice in fact a firefight between
Yugoslav forces and Kosovo Liberation Army
terrorists?"
Morina claimed there were no KLA members in his
village.
Milosevic asked: ''Wasn't a monument to Ramiz Sadiku
and Boro Vukmirovic destroyed in Landovice?'' (These
slain partisans, an ethnic Albanian and an ethnic
Montenegrin, symbolized brotherhood in Yugoslavia.)
"Yes," said Morina.
"And what replaced it?" asked President Milosevic.
"Why, a monument to our fallen KLA soldiers," said
Morina.
This prompted the following quite reasonable response:
"I question that he does not know anything about these
[KLA] activities," President Milosevic said. "I must
say you [the "prosecutor"] are bringing in witnesses
of this kind to ill-treat me. These are false
witnesses."
Earlier, Morina testified that Yugoslav soldiers
arrived in Landovice in a particular army vehicle.
Though this assertion had no bearing on anything or
anyone, least of all President Milosevic, the
prosecution produced pictures of different army
vehicles and everyone had to wait while the 'witness'
studied them, finally picking the one that looked like
the vehicle in which the troops had traveled.
This combination of physical abuse, isolation from
family, friends and advisors - even President
Milosevic's lawyers in the Dutch courts are not
permitted to see him - and a stream of ridiculous
'witnesses' is the real content of the prosecution
case against President Milosevic.
We urge all individuals, groups, mass media and
members of parliament who care about justice to
protest this abuse in any way possible including with
letters and petitions to the United Nations Security
Council. Demand:
1) End this farce of a trial. It is already obvious
the 'prosecution' has no case.
2) Until The Hague farce is ended, Slobodan Milosevic
must be freed from the abusive Hague jail. He must be
allowed to live in a house in The Netherlands with his
family, thus preserving his physical well being and
allowing him to conduct his defense and counter attack
in full contact with advisers and research facilities
This kind of action and public pressure must go on
continuously in different forms until we FREE SLOBODAN
MILOSEVIC.
Milosevic must not be silenced.
