British Democracy Forum - View Single Post - Do you believe the death of Mr. Milosevic is 'suspicious'?

What did you think when you first heard the news that former Yugoslav President Milosevic had died (aged 64) on 11.3.2006? I know what I thought. I've put a poll up (above).

Former President Milosovic was plainly not very nice - but I still don't agree with the whole concept of an 'international court'. I am a sovereigntist and believe that what went on in (the former) Yugoslavia cannot and should not be decided by anyone except the government and people of the area that used to make up the (now defunct) state of Yugoslavia.

The following report was being carried on ITV 1 Teletext (analogue) at 5.25 am (today, 12.3.2006 - page 303 main story): Controversy surrounds the death of Slobodon Milosevic as supporters claim that he may have been poisoned. The former Serb leader was found dead of "natural causes" in his cell at The Hague (Holland) where he was being detained while on trial for war crimes. His lawyer, Zcenko Tomanovic, claimed Milosevic had said he thought he was being poisoned, and has requested that an autopsy be carried out in Moscow. (End of report)

BBC 1 Ceefax said (in a report on screen at 5.28 am on page 104 on 12.3.2006): A Serbian doctor will attend the autopsy of Slobodan Milosevic in the Netherlands on Sunday as his family blames his death on The Hague tribunal. The former Yugoslav president, who was 64 and suffering from high blood pressure and heart problems, was found dead in his cell on Saturday. He died just months before the scheduled end of his trial for war crimes in the Balkans in the 1990's. The tribunal has requested a full autopsy and toxicological examination. (End or report)
