Moscow,
November 29, 2002
The draft
Declaration entitled "On anti-human treatment of
political prisoner Slobodan Milosevic by the International Tribunal on
former Yugoslavia" has been put on the agenda of the session of the State
Duma of the Russian Federation, scheduled for December 11.
The decision has been made last night by the Council of the
State Duma, upon initiative of the Commission for cooperation and assistance
to Yugoslavia and of the Foreign Policy Committee.
Russian public and political circles in continuity demonstrate
support to President Milosevic and critical attitude towards the Tribunal.
In the last couple of weeks there were many expressions of the most serious
concern about the life and health of President Milosevic. Powerful statements
have been made by Gennadi Zyuganov, Nikolai Ryzhkov, Alexander Zinov'ev and by
a number of parties and organizations. All the statements demand for President
Milosevic immediate medical treatment in Yugoslavia and
defense from freedom.
Putting of
the draft Declaration, in urgent procedure, on the
agenda of the first following session of the Duma (during the next week Duma
has one of the ordinary recesses in its works), is an expression of the
consensus of all the leading political forces in Russia.
