KMDLNJ: Publishing of fake veterans' lists, human rights violations

The Council for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms by means of a communique has reacted to publishing lists with names of suspects of false veterans.

According to KMDLNj, this is a violation of privacy and presents flagrant violations of human rights.

“Publicating the list of veterans suspected of being deceptive, of all personal data, without a decision of competent court, in addition to presenting grave violations of the Law to Preserve Personal Data, at the same time presents flagrant violations of human rights which is punishable by all laws and documents for the protection of human, international and national rights”, it is said in response.

According to the KMDLNJ, for the worse, on these lists, now expanded has names, whose contribution cannot be disputed with anything in the recent war in Kosovo.

“Lincing and public degradation of the undeniable contributors to the liberation war is made by those who by law and in law are obliged to defend these rights and call them to report to the prosecutor or court to improve these errors that caused a lot of fair and reasonable reactions from true contributors or real war veterans of liberation and who, deliberately or without purpose, equated fraud veterans. These unverified, step-in-lawd and unverified lists of judges that would prove the actual situation raised numerous tensions in Kosovo as if they created situations that endanger life and the prosecution and the judiciary as well as those on the” list, it is said in response.

Without prejudging the guilt or innocence of those on the list or those who are charged because the competent court is responsible, the KMDLNI calls for investigations into how these lists were made public, who gave the media these lists and then appointed concrete and criminal responsibility of those who contributed to public lynching and tension.

KMDLNj seeks to continue judicial procedures on those who have been illegally benefited from the status of fraudulent veterans, as well as on those who have enabled this action without political interference and other interest groups.

The organisation has come up against the apology for fraudulent veterans, and if the competent court confirms their guilt, they must be punished according to the law as if they should be forced to return the means that they have taken in because of fraud.

In this case, there will in no way be a need to go unpunished to those who put the real KLA veterans on their lists as well as those who handed in their electronic media lists and who caused all this confusion that tends to destabilise the situation. If the prosecution and the judiciary are demanding independence and policy failure then they too must respect the law and that in the case of veterans, they have not done the job properly, especially in the flow of lists and redisamination of these wars and someone among these two institutions should be responsible! The KMDLNI invites all parties to refrain from violent speech, not to strain the situation further, not to insult family and family members, and their right to demand it by respecting the laws in power”, says the end of the response.
