SOCIALIST PARTY OF SERBIA Belgrade, April 14, 2001 S T A T E M E N T Today in Belgrade, in front of the Government of Serbia building, second mass rally of support for Slobodan Milosevic was held. 25.000 of citizens and leadership of SPS demanded in the rally that president of SPS Slobodan Milosevic should continue medical treatment in Military Medical Academy. After political pressure on physicians, president Milosevic was returned yesterday afternoon from that hospital to Central County Jail in Belgrade. Yugoslav and international social, professional and humanitarian organizations are called in action of support to demands for release of Slobodan Milosevic from detention, so that he could defend himself free on bail, and for termination of persecutions and political trials. Speakers emphasized that new regime is transforming Serbia into concentration camp, but people demands freedom and dignity. Those who spread hatred and fear (advocating foreign, not Serb interests), will get the same in return, but doubled. Citizens of Montenegro are greeted and called to vote against separatism and for Yugoslavia, free and common state of Serbian and Montenegrin people and of all it's citizens. The wave of demonstrators then moved trough Nemanjina street to the Palace of Justice with intention to deliver a petition for release of Slobodan Milosevic. The petition could not be delivered with the explanation that there is no one in the court authorized to receive the delegation of the rally. Demonstration ended with a call for new rally next Saturday in capital of Vojvodina, Novi Sad.
