"TODAY IS the day Miroslav Filopovic has been waiting for - but with little
sense of hope or pleasure. For the past two months the Serb journalist has
been in custody, charged with espionage. Today he will face a military
court in the southern Serbian town of Nis, and if found guilty tomorrow,
when the trial ends, he faces between three and 15 years in prison.
Filipovic, 49, is the first Serb journalist to be tried for espionage in
decades, and the case has become a cause of concern for human rights groups.
"The basis of the charges is a series of articles considered by the
authorities to have "undermined the defence of the country". These include
one that was published in The Independent, detailing atrocities allegedly
committed by Serbian forces in Kosovo." (The Independent, July 25, 2000)
