That motion argues for:
     a) Allowing Slobodan Milosevic to go to Belgrade where he can get proper medical treatment.
     b) Enabling him to continue his fight with the Tribunal from a position of freedom ("non-custodial") and with a reduced work load. This is crucial for his survival and for the defense of the truth about what happened to Yugoslavia.

2) We need to hold press conferences to reach the reporters covering the proceedings.

To do these things we have to get to The Hague and stay there for a week and rent space near the Tribunal to hold press conferences. Our delegation will be three people. We need your help!

Events are moving very fast. On Tuesday 12 November, SLOBODA, the Freedom Foundation, in Belgrade, filed suit against Prosecutor Carla del Ponte and seven of her deputies at The Hague Tribunal. The charge: the attempted murder of Slobodan Milosevic.

The same day The Hague Tribunal ordered that Slobodan Milosevic, former President of both Yugoslavia and Serbia, undergo psychiatric examinations.

This is a new insult to Mr. Milosevic and to the people of Yugoslavia. Given, on the one hand, the intelligence and sustained concentration and dignity with which Mr. Milosevic has solidly defeated an avalanche of liars, and, on the other hand, the bizarre behavior of this court, judges and prosecutors alike, this order for psychiatric evaluation is misdirected. Physicians: heal thyselves.

Clearly the Tribunal wishes to find some basis, any basis, to forbid Slobodan Milosevic the basic human right to conduct his own defense. Apparently they hope that some psychiatrist will declare Mr. Milosevic unfit to represent himself. Hague official Florence Hartmann suggested yesterday that Mr. Milosevic could be moved to some outside facility while they continue these proceedings in his absence.

The ICDSM needs to send a delegation including our attorney, Tiphaine Dickson, as soon as possible to The Hague. That delegation will reach the international media and be present to handle matters relating to the motion we have filed with the ICTY.

In order to send that delegation *we need your help.*

If you were thinking of making a donation, now is the time! Now, when The Tribunal is denying Mr. Milosevic proper health care in order to pressure him to appoint substitute counsel we need to get our delegation to The Hague.

For we represent the other side.

We actually believe Slobodan Milosevic is innocent. The charges against him and the Serbian people are based on a campaign of lies. We have the facts. Milosevic is effectively countering the Tribunal's lies, and that is why they want so desperately to replace him.

We believe Slobodan Milosevic is 100% right not to appoint a lawyer to represent him before the Tribunal. *Not even a lawyer who claims to support him.*

Why?

Because it is Mr. Milosevic who led Serbia and Yugoslavia during the period under discussion. Because no lawyer on earth can - or will dare - to stand up to this NATO-controlled Tribunal as Mr. Milosevic has done, to tell the truth without fear of consequence or career. There is no lawyer who can demonstrate by his very demeanor, that the Serbs are innocent and it is NATO, which attacked Yugoslavia with bombs and lies and by instigating racial hatred, which is guilty.

Slobodan Milosevic is the national leader who stood up to NATO. It is a terrible blow for this Tribunal, NATO's Tribunal, that they have been defeated by him, day after day, since the trial began in February.

That is why in the proceedings this past Monday [11 November], the three Judges presented every argument to convince Mr. Milosevic to let some lawyer - any lawyer - replace him, or partly replace him, or sit with him in court, or take some step, any step to lessen his direct impact. To lessen his impact today and to lessen the impact of the transcripts of these proceedings which stand as permanent proof that Milosevic told the truth and NATO lied about the Serbs.

In order to get our delegation to The Hague we need your financial help. Slobodan Milosevic is making a great impact. We are making an impact too and with your help, with your help we can do a hundred times more to assist him, to defend the truth.
