A group of Croatian academics and bishops has sent a letter in which they demand the release of Croatian generals, imprisoned and convicted at the Hague Tribunal, as they say, without proof of guilt.
The letter was sent to Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor with a request to deliver it through diplomatic channels to the Secretary General and the UN Security Council.
"You also imprisoned them because, instead of you, they saved a hundred thousand Muslims in the protected zone of Bihać, and after the massacre in the protected zone of Srebrenica. We ask you: return our living, our defenders, whom you imprisoned and convicted without proven guilt," reads the letter reported by the media.
Academician Josip Pečarić states in his letter to the Prime Minister that the letter was written on the occasion of the "racist verdicts against Croatian generals Anto Gotovina and Mladen Markač in The Hague, at the court founded by the UN".
Among the signatories of the letter are 17 academics and two Catholic bishops.
