NO JUSTICE
SCANDALOUS DECISION AT THE U.N. WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL
Naser Oric, Bosnian Muslim war criminal freed!

Naser ORIC, who was handed a lenient two-year sentence by the ICTY in The
Hague (June 30, 2006) for murder and torture of Serbs and for destruction of
Serbian villages in Eastern Bosnia, was freed since he had been in jail for
more than three years.

The ICTY judges found that between 24 September 1992 and 16 October 1992,
Naser ORIC detained number of Serbs at the Srebrenica Police Station. "He
physically abused them, which included beatings by various objects:
including wooden sticks, wooden poles, steel pipes, metal bars, baseball
bats, rifle butts, bare fists, kicking with boots and forced teeth
extractions with rusty pliers. These beatings and physical abuse caused
severe pain and injuries such as fractured bones, severe injuries to limbs
and broken teeth. On numerous occasions, detainees were beaten into a state
of unconsciousness." Seven detainees were beaten to death. [1]

Muslim armed units under the command of Naser ORIC engaged in various
military operations against the Army of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and
Herzegovina forces in Eastern Bosnia. In the course of such operations,
Oric's Muslim armed units in the Municipalities of Bratunac, Srebrenica and
Skelani, burnt and otherwise destroyed and plundered a minimum of fifty
predominantly Serb villages and hamlets. As a result, thousands of Serb
individuals fled the area.

ORIC described theses crimes as his "Greatest hits" while talking to Bill
Schiller of the Toronto Star and showing Schiller his shocking video of what
he and his Muslim army units did to the Serbs. [2]

By sentencing Naser ORIC, a Muslim, to two years in prison for despicable
crimes against the Serbs, the U.N. Tribunal in The Hague encourages those
who want us to believe that Muslims have always been victims in the Balkans.

Srdja Trifkovic stresses in his article " Jihadist hotbed in the Balkans",
that " Western policy in the Balkans should be reappraised because.. [it]..
continue[s] encouraging the Muslim sense of pure victimhood…",  and
"nourishes their hate. The obstacle to doing so is often the apologetics and
the tradition of pro-Muslim appeasement of the Clinton decade; but that
appeasement must stop." [3]

War crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the Serbs by the
Bosnian Muslims, Croats and  Squiptars (Albanians) in the former Yugoslavia
have never been investigated and properly trailed at the ICTY. The Naser
ORIC's sentence proves again that the ICTY at The Hague is incapable of
serving the justice and therefore must be closed.

Athens fears spread of Balkans turmoil

 

Athens fears spread of Balkans turmoil

By Andrew Borowiec
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
July 3, 2006

NICOSIA, Cyprus -- Greek officials and analysts are increasingly worried about trouble signs in the Balkans, an area remembered for triggering World War I.
    "History lives on in the Balkans, ready to break out in more bloodshed," one Athens analysis has warned.
    Conservative Athens daily Kathimerini ran an article titled "Greece caught in the Balkan maelstrom," which asserted that "hopes for a universal, European equilibrium in the Balkans are fading into the distant future."
    The concern centers on the restive province of Kosovo, formerly one of Yugoslavia's two autonomous regions, now an enclave within Serbia administered by the United Nations.
    With Kosovo's Albanian majority clamoring for independence and Serbs vowing to prevent it, Soren Jessen-Petersen, head of the U.N. mission in Kosovo, cautioned last week that the area could become "a ticking social time bomb, which in time will be impossible to manage."
    Serbia's official position, as summed up by President Boris Tadic, is that "Serbia is dedicated to the preservation of Kosovo as part of Serbia." The Brussels-based International Crisis Group think tank warned of violence if Serbia insisted on this policy.
    Kosovo and its Orthodox shrines have been considered by Serbs as their heartland since the 1389 battle of Kosovo Polje, when an Ottoman Turkish army defeated the Serbian troops of Prince Lazar. The emotional aspect of this claim has affected Belgrade's policy in the area for years.
    Montenegro's independence in May completed the breakup of the six republics that had made up the Yugoslav federation. Serbia, once the dominant power in the Balkans, has yet to come to terms with its diminishing status and the spectacular collapse of the nation-building effort by dictator Josip Broz Tito.
    Events in the former Yugoslavia have left Greece as the "richest and most stable country in the Balkans, but threatened by the fallout of the area's instability," a Western diplomatic assessment said.
    Diplomatic sources say Greece has alerted the European Union to the danger of admitting more Balkan candidates, some of them in the throes of contagious ethnic conflicts.
    Bulgaria and Romania are preparing their EU entry for January, but EU officials in Brussels are not certain of their qualifications. The European Union appears lukewarm to the membership ambitions of such Balkan countries as Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
    Diplomats generally attribute the rising Balkan tensions to Yugoslavia's disintegration after years of forced stability under Mr. Tito's iron fist.
    Albania's chaotic emergence from its longtime communist isolation and its ambition to annex part of Kosovo have added to the tension, with repercussions also expected to affect Macedonia's Slavic and ethnic Albanian populations.

Officer gets two years for ignoring Srebrenica atrocities

 

 

Officer gets two years for ignoring Srebrenica atrocities

Saturday, July 01, 2006

Associated Press

Amsterdam, Netherlands - A former police officer who commanded troops defending the Bosnian Muslim enclave of Srebrenica was handed a lenient two-year sentence Friday for failing to prevent murder and torture of Serb captives.

The U.N. war crimes tribunal, which imposed the sentence, ordered Naser Oric's immediate re lease since he has been in jail for more than three years.

Oric, 39, was acquitted of direct involvement in the murder of prisoners in the early years of the 1992-95 Bosnia war. But the court found he had closed his eyes to their mistreatment and failed to punish their killers.

The three judges of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia acquitted him of all charges related to the wanton destruction of Serb villages.

The trial was closely watched in the Balkans. Muslims, who hail Oric as a war hero for his three-year defense of the enclave against Serb forces, had anticipated exoneration.

Serbs had hoped a conviction would counterbalance earlier judgments that found Bosnian Serbs guilty of genocide at Srebrenica. More than 8,000 Muslims were slaughtered there in one week in July 1995, Europe's worst civilian massacre since the Holocaust.

Prosecutors had sought an 18-year prison term. Defense lawyers said any punishment would be inappropriate.

The judges found that during two periods in 1992 and 1993, Oric's troops battered Serb prisoners with wooden planks, iron rods and baseball bats, and pulled the teeth of some of them with rusty pliers. At least six prisoners died in custody.

Oric should have known the prisoners were at risk and taken steps to prevent their mistreat ment, the judgment said. But the judges said they unanimously decided on leniency because of the untenable situation in the besieged town.

Oric, then 25, was responsible for a population swelled by refugees, without food, and in charge of ill-equipped and poorly trained forces. He had no military or administrative experience, his authority was scorned by other Muslim leaders and he had no communications with his superiors outside the area, the judges found.

"It was a continuous uphill struggle that, in actual fact, achieved very few results," the verdict said.

Bosnian Serbs denounced the sentence as "a farce," while some Muslims survivors of Srebrenica were disappointed he was found guilty of anything. In Belgrade, Serbia's President Boris Tadic called the sentence "scandalous."

"People who steal at supermarkets are given two-year prison sentences," Tadic said.
