Although Reuters is a notorious anti-Serbian Orwellian NWO's loudspeaker, below I anyway post its description of the of the situation in connection with kidnapping of Mr. Milosevic. Although I do not share Mr. Milosevic's political views, I feel what is happening to him is little more than an ordinary NATO/Neue Welt Ordnung lynch party. No American, no Serb, no honest human being should be a willing party to it, and should do anything possible to return him to his country. MT ======================== Wednesday July 11 6:35 AM ET Diaspora to Defend 'Innocent' Milosevic -Backers By Andrew Gray BELGRADE (Reuters) - A member of Slobodan Milosevic's international support committee said he is innocent of any crimes, evidence of mass graves is dubious and Serbs worldwide are ready to help defend him from a NATO ``lynching.'' Christopher Black, a Canadian lawyer who met the former Yugoslav president in jail this week, says the committee plans a series of public events to highlight what it sees as the gross injustice of Milosevic's detention on war crimes charges. ``We are hoping to organize publicity campaigns, cultural campaigns -- all sorts of methods to raise public consciousness about what's really going on,'' Black told Reuters on Tuesday evening after arriving in Belgrade to meet Milosevic supporters. Black, 51, described Milosevic as ``in good spirits'' and in no way suicidal during their talks on legal strategy on Monday at the U.N. war crimes tribunal's jail in The Hague. The lawyer said members of the 60,000-strong Serb community in his own home city of Toronto had already offered support for the campaign backing Milosevic, charged with responsibility for mass killings and expulsions of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. ``Even those who hate him have, through contacts, contacted me and said they're disgusted by him being handed over and they're willing to fund his defense,'' he said. ``And that's common in Australia and the United States.'' The International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic was formed on March 24 this year, exactly two years after NATO launched its air war against Yugoslavia with the declared aim of ending Serb repression of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo province. Founded by opponents of the bombing shortly before his arrest in a domestic corruption investigation, the committee is now focusing on the trial Milosevic faces in The Hague since his transfer there last month by the reformers who ousted him. SUPPORTERS ACCUSE NATO The committee sees Milosevic's indictment as part of a NATO effort to justify its bombing campaign, during which the bloody upheaval in Kosovo's conflict reached its peak, and punish the former president for daring to challenge the might of the West. Milosevic has refused to recognize the authority of the U.N. tribunal and has not engaged any defense counsel. Tribunal judges have entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf. ``He's determined to fight NATO wherever he is,'' Black said. ''I think he wins no matter what. This man's being railroaded. We haven't seen any evidence and no one else has. He's not guilty of anything.'' British playwright Harold Pinter is among those on the committee, which Black said he believed now included around 200 academics, politicians, journalists, lawyers and others. The committee Web site (www.icdsm.org) under the banner ``Free Slobodan Milosevic!!!'' claims the support of ``600 personalities from 30 countries.'' It lists around 70 people who are actually members from countries from Russia to the United States. Black dismissed much of the material offered to justify Milosevic's indictment and transfer to The Hague, such as the recent discovery of several mass graves inside Serbia proper believed to be filled with the bodies of Kosovo Albanians. ``We've been hearing stories about mass graves since the start of the (Balkan) wars and every time you examine those alleged mass graves... they just disappear,'' he said, appearing to take issue with the widely accepted findings of many investigators and forensic experts over the past decade. He claimed rallies in support of Milosevic in Belgrade had attracted far more people than the few thousand estimated by widely respected local and international media organizations. ``It's just a bunch of lies,'' he said of the media reports. The lawyer, who is already defending a Rwandan general accused of genocide at another U.N. tribunal, met Milosevic in The Hague for about an hour and a half on Monday. He said talk the ex-president might commit suicide -- as both his parents did -- was Western propaganda. ``Any rumors of him being suicidal are absolute nonsense and a plant, in case they try to eliminate him some other way,'' he said. ================================== International gangsters - hands off Yugoslavia!
