Journalist Dejan Anastasijevic target of Lynch Atmosphere

Press release

Belgrade, April 15, 2007

 

The assassination attempt at journalist Dejan Anastasijevic in the night of April 14 is by far more indicative than yet another in the series of terrorist attacks against the freedom of expression. For, this time the target was a brave journalist who has not only authentically reported the trial of the murders of the allegedly para-military Scorpions formation, but also taken the stand at the trial of Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague. Dejan Anastasijevic was obviously another stumbling block in the way of interpreting ex-Yugoslav wars by predominant matrix, which would not allow any connection between the crimes committed "in the name of nation" and state institutions.

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia demands the relevant authorities to urgently track down perpetrators and thoroughly investigate the background of the crime and its orderers. Otherwise, Serbia will be plunging deeper and deeper in the policy of crime her ruling elite has never explicitly renounced, and will be turning less and less legitimate for joining the family of civilized European countries.

Deeply concerned with this heinous assault, the Helsinki Committee reminds that is has been warning domestic public for long of the atmosphere of lynch against all who think differently and dare come public with their opinions.
