Statement on the Death of Slobodan Milosevic

The International Committee For the Defence of Slobodan Milosevic condemns
the  deliberate refusal of the fascist Hague tribunal to honour all
civilized codes of decency and law which have resulted in the death of
President Slobodan Milosevic in their hands today, March 11, 2006. Their
actions are tantamount to the murder of a man who stood as a symbol of
resistance to the New World Order and a symbol of and fighter for the
independence and soverereignty of the peoples of Yugoslavia and for social
justice in the world. This was his only crime.

We demand that there be an international, independent enquiry into the
circumstances and cause of his death and that his family, his party and
his supporters be party to that enquiry.

We also demand the right of his wife and family to attend his funeral
without fear of persecution, arrest or any other impediment to their right
to honour their beloved husband, comrade and father.

To the people of Yugoslavia we offer our profound sympathies. Yet, though
he  is no longer with us in body, his ceaseless courage, his determination
to show the world the truth about the aggression by the western powers
against Yugoslavia, his spirit of resistance to the new fascism, and his
constant belief in the strength and spirit of the people, will forever
light the darkness into which the world has descended.  We salute him and
will forever thank and honour him.
