JUGOSLOVENSKOJ I SVETSKOJ JAVNOSTI

Borba koju ovde vodim tice se istine i slobode. To zna cela planeta.

Ovaj nelegalni sud dozivljava svakodnevni fijasko. I to u svom sopstvenom poluvremenu. U poluvremenu u kojem nastupa njihova lazna tuzba i njihovi lazni svedoci. To traje vec drugu godinu. Oni ne smeju ni da misle kako ce izgledati moje poluvreme, u kojem govorim ja, u kojem govore svedoci koje ja pozovem.

Protiv mene su upotrebili sva sredstva politickog, medijskog, psiholoskog i fizickog pritiska. NEUSPESNO.

Sada su pristupili brutalnom progonu koristeci se bezocnim lazima. Taj progon je i fizicki i pracen je medijskom kampanjom.

A cela javnost vidi da su pocinioci zlocina, koje su pohapsili, upravo isti oni kojima je aktuelna vlast odavala priznanje za "doprinos" pucu od 05. oktobra, koji su, sa carapama na glavama preskakali ogradu rezidencije, koji su me uhapsili i kidnapovali za njihov racun.

Brutalnom progonu moje supruge i sina pristupili su iskljucivo zbog mene. Zato sto ne mogu da me slome. Zato sto sam svakako moralni pobednik. Zato sto je istina na mojoj strani.

Zbog tog progona, ja vec trecu godinu nisam video sina, a od skora ni suprugu. To im i jeste cilj, da mi onemoguce svaki kontakt. To pravo ovde nikome nije, niti moze biti, uskraceno. Zato su i odlucili da ga meni uskrate na ovako necastan nacin.

Trazim da prestane progon moje supruge i sina jer je iskljucivo politicki motivisan i u funkciji onemogucavanja borbe koju vodim i pravdanja zlocina nad Jugoslavijom i njenim gradjanima.

TO THE YUGOSLAV AND WORLD PUBLIC

The battle I am fighting here is for truth and freedom. The whole planet knows this.

This illegal court suffers a daily fiasco, even during their own prosecution time; the time when they bring  their false witnesses and their false accusations. This has been going on for over a year. They dread the day when I begin to present my defense, when I speak and the witnesses I call will speak.

They have applied all means of pressure against me, media pressure, psychological pressure and physical pressure, and they have done so UNSUCCESSFULLY!

Now they have begun a brutal campaign of outrageous lies. This persecution is physical and supported by a media campaign.

The whole world can see that some of the criminals which the present authorities have arrested are the same ones who they themselves commended for bringing them to power on the coup of October 5^th. These are the same criminals who, with stockings on their heads, jumped over the fence around my home and kidnapped me for their own account.

Now they are brutally persecuting my wife and son exclusively to attack me. But they can not break me, because I am already the moral victor, and because the truth is on my side.

Because of this persecution I haven’t seen my son for the last 3 years, and I have been unable to see my wife for some time. It is their aim to block my outside contacts. Every prisoner here has the right to see their family except for me. They have decided to strip me of this right in a very immoral way.

I demand that the persecution of my wife and son be stopped, because it is politically motivated against my struggle to carry on the fight against the justifications for the crimes that were perpetrated against Yugoslavia and its citizens.
