YU ACTION GROUP & INDEPENDENCY

 

APPEAL

July 3, 1999

 

Dr. Flora Brovina, human right activist from Kosovo, was arrested and imprisoned on 22 April 1999, by the soldiers of the Serbian intelligence service. According to the U.N. investigators` records, Dr. Flora Brovina has been transferred to Serbia, along with other 3000 Albanian political prisoners. The latest information is that now, she is in the prison hospital of Pozarevac, in a very bad state of health. Contact to a lawyer, family members or humanitarian workers, has been forbidden to her.

There is a reasonable fear that the Albanian political prisoners, among whom are also Albin Kurti, Halil Matoshi and Ukshin Hoti, will become victims of the Serbian forces` revenge.

We demand that the official republic and federal authorities immediately release the human right activist Flora Brovina, as well as other Albanian political prisoners who were transferred from Kosovo to Serbian prisons. Also, we call for the Yugoslav and international democracy-orientated individuals and institutions to make pressure on Serbian politicians, in order to achieve our above noted demand.
