Dear friends,

President Milosevic is in a life-threatening situation.

He suffers from malignant hypertension and his heart is damaged. He is in permanent risk of a heart attack or a brain-stroke.

His health and ability to stand the second half of the process without a serious risk cannot be recuperated in prison conditions.

He is deprived of health-care and of conditions to prepare his case.

The outrageous decision of the tribunal to give him only three months to prepare his case in prison and only six weeks to submit the complete list of his witnesses, together with the summaries of their statements and with the list of evidence he intends to introduce with them – only to be reviewed and eventually approved by the tribunal, definitively proves that the tribunal wants to silence the truth by depriving President Milosevic of minimum conditions to prepare his case and by increasing the threat to his life with an impossible task.

President Milosevic needs two years in freedom.

Please address your governments (the tribunal is formally a part of UN system), members of UN Security Council (the tribunal is formally a subsidiary organ of the Security Council), UN Secretary General, Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the World Health Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the tribunal itself.

Protest against the crime and the injustices. Demand two years of freedom for President Milosevic.

Vladimir Krsljanin, Sloboda/ICDSM
