KMDLNJ: We strongly condemn violations that Special Racist Court is committing to The Hague hostages

Council for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms ( KMDLNj has reacted after the Special Court over the weekend has stopped this Saturday and Sunday calls and communications through video connection (communal platform) between detainees and their families.

In the response made by KMLDNJ, restrictions are said to have been made without any warning.

Similarly, KMDLNj says that “at the same time the head of the Racist Special Court, Ekaterina Trandafilova, warned that she will visit Kosovo and that there will be a “information meeting with civil society, while not showing whether there will be any meeting with politicians, otherwise she can do so without informing the public”.

“The KMDLNJ strongly condemns violations that the Special Racist Court is doing to the hostages of The Hague, all Kosovo citizens, and all Albanians, as well as the silence of Kosovo institutions that, deliberately or unwittingly, have come under the wing of this judgment. Ekaterina Trandafilova's visit to Kosovo for KMDLNj is unacceptable, disgusting and contrary to minimum professional and moral standards, and as such should be boycotted and rejected”, it is said in response.

Full response:

According to KMDLNI information, against the hostages being held at The Hague's detention centre -- all Albanians and all Kosovo citizens -- as detained, being tried and punished, had recently been subjected to several restrictions on the information area and ended with the unprecedented interruption of family visits and other persons who had received consent from the authorities of the Special Court for visits. Other communication was interrupted without any clarification. Visits were completely interrupted at the time of the pandemic but not even communication with family and others over the telephone and other electronic forms.

At the same time, the head of the Racist Special Court, Ekaterina Trandafilova, warned that she will visit Kosovo and have a “informational meeting“with civil society, while failing to show whether there will be any meeting with politicians, otherwise she can do so without informing the public.

This chief had for another time left his visit for the fact that protests had been warned, while now he appreciates that conditions are better to carry out this <x0 informative> “. That she meets with civil society, is the normal saying so much earlier that part of it is partnered even before the court's establishment by Burrel case or “, respectively. Yellow House“That a large part of civil society has had a complaining and opportunistic attitude towards serious human rights violations that this court has made in connection with the hostages from Kosovo is widely known, so these Trandafilovas have no problem informing them of the work and transparency of this Court, terribly closed and extremely discriminated on ethnic grounds that identify with the lack of elementary transparency, at least so far.

It is said that this court is part of Kosovo's justice system, the ignorant and the needy really think so, although nothing is identified with Kosovo except on ethnic grounds arrests and condemns Albanians. Those who have committed mass crimes in Kosovo (Serbs and Serbia) have not been prosecuted for crimes committed have become accomplices and witnesses to the court that they have been committed from Serbia's traffic police to the president of this criminal state. Ekaterina Trandafilova has also met with civilists and noncivilists from Serbia, it would be a surprise if it was not met.

Kosovo's LESP, one of the key chapters for success in the process of resociating convicts, considers family, friendly and social visits, family preservation and the creation of the new family, with a pre-emptive word to preserve and strengthen the social environment. The same is seen by the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the United Nations, the European Convention for Human Rights, the European Penitentiency of Prisons, and Nelson Mandela Rules that this supposedly applies to the Court as the highest standard of the United Nations regulating the rights of persons deprived of freedom.

The repeated violations of hostages from Kosovo to The Hague, all Kosovo citizens and all Albanians, should be seriously handled by the International Committee for Prevention of Torture and Degrading Treatment for the fact that no one from Kosovo is allowed to visit within the prison space to see their treatment and physical conditions. This methodology is used in all parts of the world, nothing to dictatorial, and it's the uniform exercise of monitoring. Ekaterina Trandafilova must show why only the International Committee of the Red Cross from Geneva and the Netherlands' Ombudsperson have the right to visit The Hague hostages and have so far done nothing to protect their rights.

Most of Kosovo's deputies and current politicians, not that they have any interest in these exiles, but are seeking ways and opportunities to stop legal protection and family visits through funding ban. All mentioned that so far it has been spent on defence and family visits 20m euros, while Croatia alone has spent the protection of Ante Gotovina 33m euros.

KMDLNI strongly condemns violations that the Special Racist Court is taking to the hostages of The Hague, all Kosovo citizens and all Albanians, as well as the silence of Kosovo institutions that, deliberately or unwittingly, have come under the wing of this judiciary. Ekaterina Trandafilova's visit to Kosovo KMDLNj is unacceptable, disgusting and contrary to minimum professional and moral standards and as such should be boycotted and rejected
