Kosovo: The Other Victims

Published by:

The other victims of the Kosovo war, the Serbs, the Rroma, Moslem Slavs, Turks, and even Albanians are increasingly asking for justice. Many of them were killed by the UCK, were ethnically cleansed from their ancestral homes.
Up till now, no one was condemned for those acts, even in the case of Haradinaj who was judged in the Hague’s tribunal. In that latter case, several witnesses were subjected to extreme pressure not to appear in court.
Let’s hope for justice!

In the North, in Loos, a militant ecologists is being tried – he is accused of running over policemen on his bicycle during a manifestation for Rroma; in Nantes, still no solutions for a squat; while in Strasbourg, Rroam were arrested for picking pockets during a concert.
