"I am fully convinced of
Milosevic's innocence. I
realize that the United States, with NATO,
the IMF
and the World Bank, contrived the whole war
beginning in the 1980s. I want Mr. Milosevic freed
immediately." - Jim Klosterman

On August 22, Milosevic's Chief Attorney, Chris Black, was told
by a Hague Tribunal (sic!) official, whom we will protect with
anonymity, that on his birthday President Milosevic received a
stack of letters and telegrams two thirds of a meter (two feet) high.
Needless to say, this dangerous material was still being censored
and had not yet been turned over to the President two days after
his birthday
Slobodan Milosevic and the other kidnap victims at The Hague
have asked us to communicate their warmest thanks for this
outpouring of support. Let us say "you're welcome" by sending
more letters and telegrams so that the stack grows to a full meter
by the time President Milosevic appears before NATO's faux
court August 30th!

Let's Send More
Messages to
The Hague 'Humanitarians'
=======================================
The people who bombed Yugoslavia are punishing
President
Slobodan Milosevic for defying them.
Let's do some defying ourselves.
President
Milosevic's birthday is Monday, August 20th. On
August 30th he is to appear again before The
Hague kangaroo
'Tribunal.'
Let's flood The Hague with telegrams supporting
this man's
resistance, especially from August 20th
to August 30th.

Why send telegrams and letters?
THE FULL TREATMENT
When former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic appeared
before The Hague Tribunal on July 2, Judge Richard May told him
(and the world):
'You will be accorded the full rights of the accused, according to
international law, '
One analyst asked: What are the rights of a kidnap victim under
international law? ( http://emperors-clothes.com/milo/point1.htm
)
Now, after six weeks, The Hague 'Tribunal' has provided the
following answers:
1) The right to isolation. President Milosevic has been held
in solitary confinement for six weeks despite his protest and the
official UN position, that: "Efforts addressed to the abolition of
solitary confinement as a punishment, or to the restriction of its
use, should be undertaken and encouraged."
(http://www.hri.ca/uninfo/treaties/35.shtml)
2) The right not to sleep. During the first several days, the
lights were never turned off in Milosevic's cell. As a corollary,
video cameras are trained on Milosevic at all times, thus
providing the right to no privacy
3) The right to be denied counsel of your choice.
After weeks
of haggling, one of Mr. Milosevic's Yugoslav attorneys
has finally
been allowed to see him. However, the Dutch
government, acting, it
says, under instructions from the 'Tribunal,'
has denied the other
Yugoslav attorney a visa.
4) The right to witness the mistreatment of your
loved ones.
Mr. Milosevic's wife is treated like a criminal when
she comes to
Holland, confined to a hotel room when not visiting
her husband from
whom she is separated by a plane of glass.
(Thus the Tribunal, a
United Nations organization, expresses the
UN's declared goal that:
"All prisoners shall be treated with the
respect due to their inherent
dignity and value as human beings."
THE 'TRIBUNAL' MAKES IT PERFECTLY CLEAR
The treatment of Milosevic, a former head of state, and of the
other Serbian prisoners in The Hague, clarifies what the NATO
leaders who control this jail mean when they speak of bringing
humanitarian values to the world. Is it an accident that the
Tribunal's jail is located in Schevenieng, the very village where the
German Nazi's detained members of the Dutch Resistance
before shooting them?
For ten years a compliant media has drummed anti-Milosevic
horror tales into our heads until it's hard to think straight. But who
is really guilty? Who has murdered thousands of Yugoslavs with
bombs dropped from a coward's height? Who has driven over a
million people of all nationalities into homelessness in Serbia?
Who has unleashed fascist secessionists throughout the Balkans,
supporting them with arms and training, and lauding them as
democrats, forcing victims to 'negotiate' with their murderers?
Who has waged low-level nuclear war, turning Kosovo, focus of
one 'humanitarian crusade,' into a radioactive dump?
To his great credit Milosevic used his July appearance at the
Tribunal to declare: "This Tribunal aims to produce false
justification for the war crimes of NATO committed in Yugoslavia."

YOU CAN TAKE A STAND
By refusing to bow before the NATO criminals, Milosevic has
done the world an incalculable service. In response NATO is
trying to break his spirit. Therefore we urge every individual and
group to send letters and Telegrams of support to Milosevic
especially between August 20th, his 60th birthday, and August
30th, the date of his next appearance before the 'Tribunal,'
Through this small gesture you will serve notice on the 'Tribunal'
that you are watching everything they do, and you will also help
sustain the courage of this man who, kept in isolation and
mistreated, is sustained in his principled stance by the justice of
his defense of Yugoslav sovereignty and his opposition to NATO,
and by the support that burns in your heart.
