Yugoslavia, Afghanistan,
Iraq… who's next? Stop USA!
Free slobodan milosevic!
FREE SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC!
On the occasion of the second anniversary of the kidnapping of the former president of Yugoslavia there will be an
International Demonstration
in The Hague/Netherlands, Saturday, June 28, 2003
Slandered from the outset, Slobodan Milosevic, the Socialist Party of Serbia and all patriotic forces resisted the shattering of Yugoslavia into weak, racially segregated territories, resisted domination by the IMF and World Bank, resisted penetration by the Macdonald's culture and resisted NATO-dominated racist-terrorist forces cynically disguised as freedom fighters. It is because of these acts of principle that NATO has put him on 'trial' in The Hague.
In that trial President Milosevic refuses to make a deal to save himself but continues to expose the crimes of violence and racism committed by NATO and its proxy forces against Yugoslavia.
Slobodan Milosevic was overthrown by a "regime change" made in USA. Yugoslavia is now being wrecked economically, socially and culturally, under USA/German domination. President Milosevic has become the first political prisoner of the so-called "globalisation" of capitalist exploitation. By kidnapping and putting on "trial" a popularly elected President of a sovereign state, NATO and their "tribunal" have established the gravest precedent for the destruction of the sovereignty of states.
After the military invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq the US government and their allies continue to blackmail many more nations into subjugation by economic sanctions, the threat of mass destruction and destabilization through "dissident" and "opposition" forces organized from outside.
We, the signatories of this appeal, wish to remind all people in the anti war and social movements that for our future struggles against the threat of war it is of utmost importance to remain persistent in our opposition and protest against previous acts of aggression and their continuation in the form of occupation and subjugation of countries, sell out of their wealth and resources to transnational corporations and, last not least, the "trial" of their leaders.
Recalling the verdicts rendered by independent popular tribunals in Berlin and New York on NATO leaders for their aggression and war crimes committed against the former Yugoslavia we call on honest people of all political convictions and all walks of life to join in the demonstration in order to demand:
" the abolishment
of the illegal Hague "Tribunal", an instrument of aggression
and occupation
" the release of Slobodan Milosevic, who has shown by his outstanding
defence that he is indicted only to divert attention from NATO war crimes
and to impose foreign control on his people
" reparation payments to be made by NATO governments responsible
for all damages caused by their war of aggression against Yugoslavia

Joining the initiative
of our people from Diaspora worried for the future of our country and
the call of the Organizational Committee, the only organization in Serbia
that even at the hardest times stands for the defense of freedom, independence
and democracy, the Association
SLOBODA / FREEDOM
calls upon all honest people to the
DEMONSTRATIONS
at The Hague, on St.Vitus Day, June 28, 2003
The Hague "tribunal" does not serve to justice nor to the United
Nations. It serves to the war criminals who broke-up and bombarded our
country. There is no institution in the civilized world which violates
the human rights and human dignity more than this one. This spy machinery
tries to turn our country into a colony, our ministers into its servants
and to seal-up our future that way.
The obscure interior
of the Hague and of Carla del Ponte gave birth to the assassination of
Zoran Djindjic, to the State of Emergency in Serbia and to the new sufferings
of our people. Let us stop the crime, let us return the freedom and dignity
to our people and democracy to Serbia. Let us make a mass, peaceful and
proud protest against the machinery which threats to the human and national
dignity of all the Serbs and Yugoslavs and which acts in contradiction
to the International Law and to all European and International documents
about the protection of the human rights. Let us demand:
" Freedom for our abducted President Slobodan Milosevic who bravely
defends the truth and honor of his people in spite they threaten his life
and cowardly attack his family.
" Freedom,
dignity and democracy for our people, end of campaign of lies about the
defenders of freedom and of their Hague confinement, end of blaming us
all for NATO and fabricated crimes.
" Abolishment of the Hague "tribunal" as an instrument
of aggression against our country and of its occupation.
WE CALL UPON ALL THE PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS IN EUROPE AND WORLD WIDE TO JOIN US!
The demos and the
struggle for these goals need the financial assistance.
