Statement on the Death of Slobodan Milosevic
The International Committee For the Defence of Slobodan Milosevic
condemns
the deliberate refusal of the fascist Hague tribunal to honour all
civilized codes of decency and law which have resulted in the death of
President Slobodan Milosevic in their hands today, March 11, 2006.
Their
actions are tantamount to the murder of a man who stood as a symbol of resistance to the New World Order and a symbol of and fighter for the independence and soverereignty of the peoples of Yugoslavia and for
social
justice in the world. This was his only crime.
We demand that there be an international, independent enquiry into the circumstances and cause of his death and that his family, his party and his supporters be party to that enquiry.
We also demand the right of his wife and family to attend his funeral
without fear of persecution, arrest or any other impediment to their
right
to honour their beloved husband, comrade and father.
To the people of Yugoslavia we offer our profound sympathies. Yet,
though
he is no longer with us in body, his ceaseless courage, his
determination
to show the world the truth about the aggression by the western powers
against Yugoslavia, his spirit of resistance to the new fascism, and
his
constant belief in the strength and spirit of the people, will forever light the darkness into which the world has descended.
We salute him and will forever thank and honour him.
