ALERT: ATTACK ON THE DEFENSE OF PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC IN GERMANY
President Slobodan Milosevic and his witnesses by power of truth day by day
dismount the false accusations against the Serbian people and the failed
project of the destroyers of Yugoslavia, called the Hague tribunal. The
power of truth is mobilizing impoverished and suffering people of Serbia to
make an end of the rule of lie in Serbia.
Every new desperate attempt to save what cannot be saved ("Scorpions video",
allegations against the leader of the Serbian Radical Party, servants' moves
of Belgrade officials) just produce the counter effect and return like
boomerang against those who make such attempts. Best they can achieve with
such attempts is shame. Neither Serbia nor the World is ready anymore to
stand the dictatorship of lie.
This doesn't mean that there wouldn't be new harmful and dangerous attempts.
The latest one, targeting ICDSM and President Milosevic's defense, took
place yesterday in Germany. The tax police broke into private apartment of
Peter Betscher, treasurer of the German section of ICDSM (the most effective
segment of ICDSM in fundraising), took his computer and papers and froze the
bank account. Below is the story about this event, based on information from
our German friends and the article on the issue that appeared this morning
in Junge Welt. Most of the donations collected by the German committee were
used to cover imminent expenses of the assisting members of the President
Milosevic's co-workers' team at The Hague. Their normal operation is now at
stake. I call upon for your increased solidarity in this situation - and
strengthened fundraising (there are working accounts e.g. in Switzerland and
Italy). We will keep you updated about the present outrage.

Relations Assistant to President Milosevic
***********************************************************************
This Tuesday, the German section of the ICDSM was attacked for the second
time. This time, the tax police entered the apartment of Peter Betscher in
his absence. Betscher, who is the person responsible to administer donations
for the defense work at The Hague, was informed by phone on his working
place. When he arrived, the police already took out his PC and several
documents. After he insisted that police should wait for his lawyer, the
police told him that he has no right to say anything and that they are in
control.
In a written document that gave the police the permission to enter the flat,
the purpose of the operation was outlined as: to investigate the use of the
money and to find out the names of the donors!
Asked for the basis of the investigation, a police officer responded that it
was based on "an EU regulation". Mr. Betscher was also informed that the
donations bank account was frozen.
Roughly one and a half years ago, the donations account as well as the
personal account of a member of the German section of the ICDSM were frozen
on basis of "an EU regulation": the EU sanctions against President
Milosevic, his family and closest associates. At that time, the judge
decided in favour of the ICDSM: it is the basic right of any accused to have
a defense.
When Mr. Betscher mentioned that court decision, the police said they acted
on order.

Razzia bei Milosevic-Unterstützern " Kontenpfändung und Wohnungsdurchsuchung
in Darmstadt, verschafften sich Zollfahnder Zutritt zur Wohnung von Peter

Inland jW-Bericht Razzia bei Milosevic-Unterstützern Kontenpfändung und
Wohnungsdurchsuchung in Darmstadt Am Dienstag morgen verschafften sich
Zollfahnder Zutritt zur Wohnung von Peter Betscher in Darmstadt. Der hatte
zwar keinen Slivovitz geschmuggelt, sammelt aber namens der Vereinigung für
Internationale Solidarität (VIS) Spenden zum Rechtshilfefonds für Slobodan
Milosevic, den in Den Haag vor dem »Kriegsverbrechertribunal« stehenden
ehemaligen Präsidenten Jugoslawiens. Die Beamten waren nach VIS-Angaben im
Besitz eines Durchsuchungsbeschlusses des Amtsgerichts Darmstadt. Die
Leitung des Einsatzes hatte das Zollfahndungsamt Essen, angestiftet von der
Oberfinanzdirektion Koblenz. Begründet wurde die Maßnahme mit einer
Verordnung der EU-Kommission vom 19. Juni 2001, nach der »alle Gelder (...),
die Herrn Milosevic und Personen seines Umfelds gehören, einzufrieren« sind.
Schon 2003 stellte ein Gericht fest, daß diese Verordnung in diesem Fall
nicht anwendbar ist, da es ein elementares Grundrecht sei, sich gegen
Anklagen zu verteidigen. Davon ungerührt ließen die Fahnder gestern einen
PC, Datenträger und Kontoauszüge mitgehen, um Spender und Mittelverwendung
auszuforschen. Das Spendenkonto wurde ebenfalls gepfändet. Die VIS hat
rechtliche Schritte gegen die Willkürmaßnahmen eingeleitet.
Klaus Hartmann, Sprecher des Internationalen Komitees für die Verteidigung
von Slobodan Milosevic, erklärte zu dem jüngsten Einsatz: »Die Schlapphüte
von Schily und die Rechenkünstler von Eichel leisten den NATO-Kriegern
Amtshilfe, weil die Not der Haager >Ankläger< riesig ist: Noch immer stehen
sie ohne Beweise da, trotz ihres Klamauks um ein falsches Srebrenica-Video.
Weder mit Bomben auf sein Schlafzimmer, noch mit lebensgefährdenden
Medikamenten noch mit einem Zwangsverteidiger konnten sie Milosevic zum
Schweigen bringen. Jetzt versucht man wieder, die Verteidigung finanziell
lahmzulegen.«
* Empfehlung der Milosevic-Verteidiger:
Spenden kommen am besten in Form von Barschecks in die Hände von Peter
Betscher, Holzhofallee 28, 64295 Darmstadt

URGENT FUNDRAISING APPEAL
******************************
President Milosevic has the truth and law on his side. In order to use that
advantage to achieve his freedom, we must fight th is totally discredited
tribunal and its patrons through professionally conducted actions which
would involve the Bar Associations, the European Court, the UN organs in
charge and the media.
Our practice has shown that ad hoc voluntary work is not enough to deal
properly with these tasks. The funds secured in Serbia are still enough only
to cover the expenses of the stay and work of President Milosevic's legal
associates at The Hague (one at the time). The funds secured by the German
section of the ICDSM (still the only one with regular contributions) are
enough only to cover minimal additional work at The Hague connected with
contacts and preparations of foreign witnesses. Everything else is lacking.
***********************************************************
3000-5000 EUR per month is our imminent need.
Our history and our people oblige us to go on with this necessary action.
But without these funds it will not be possible.
Please organize urgently the fundraising activity and send the donations to
the following ICDSM account:

accompanying activities, on instruction or with the consent of President
Milosevic. To obtain additional information on the use of your donations or
