Nema PENDRAK-DRZAVA vo Bugarija, neli? Amnesty International, International Secretariat, 1 Easton Street, London WC1X 8DJ, United Kingdom 22 APRIL 1994 BULGARIA: AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL URGES AUTHORITIES TO ENSURE POLICE OBSERVANCE OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS STANDARDS Amnesty International is urging the authorities to ensure that police abide by international human rights standards at tomorrow's ethnic Macedonian commemorative assembly, following the violent events which overtook the assembly last year. The commemorative assembly at Rozhen Monastery is an annual event, traditionally organized by OMO "Ilinden" (United Macedonian Organization "Ilinden") to commemorate the death of Jane Sandanski, a local hero of the struggle against Ottoman rule at the turn of the century. On 24 April 1993, dozens of ethnic Macedonians, many of them members of OMO "Ilinden", were ill-treated by police officers in Lozenitsa and Spatovo after attempting to visit Rozhen Monastery. "Special police units beat them with truncheons and rifle butts; they dragged people from their cars and knocked them to the ground", Amnesty International said. "We are concerned that the apparently unprovoked attack by officers of the spe cial police units on the people who gathered in Lozenitsa and Spatovo represented a flagrant violation of international human rights standards, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Bulgaria has acceded." ; Amnesty International is particularly concerned by the reported statement from the Regional Security Service of Blagoevgrad that the police are undertaking "all appropriate measures to surround the area around the Rozhen Monastery on 23 April and to prevent the OMO "Ilinden" assembly from taking place". Three ethnic Macedonians are already reported to have been detained in Blagoevgrad while peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression. On 15 April, Stoyan Machkarov, Khristo Yanev and Lubomir Vasilev were reportedly arrested by members of th e Regional Security Service of Blagoevgrad and charged with putting up posters to announce Saturday's assembly. All three were allegedly beaten while in the police station before being released that day. Amnesty International considers their detention and alleged ill- treatment to be a violation of the ICCPR. As a State Party to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, Bulgaria is bound to initiate a pr ompt and impartial investigation wherever there is evidence that torture or other ill- treatment has occurred. Amnesty International has written to Zhelyu Zhelev, the President of Bulgaria, urging him to initiate an independent and impartial inquiry into the alleged beatings in Blagoevgrad, to make public its findings and to bring to justice anyone responsible for human rights violations. The human rights organization has still not received any reply to its letter of July 1993, to Minister of the Interior, Viktor Mikhaylov, that expressed its concern at the police violence at last year's assembly. The human rights organization called on the Bulgarian Government to initiate an independent and impartial inquiry into the alleged ill- treatment of people in Lozenitsa and Spatovo, to make public its findings and to bring to justice all those found responsible. Amnesty International is not aware whether such an investigation took place. The human rights organization is urging President Zhelev to ensure that the police in the area of Rozhen Monastery on 23 April abide by relevant international human rights standards including UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enf orcement Officials. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"On 24 April 1993, dozens of ethnic Macedonians ..." dozen=duzina=12 Znachi poveche ot 60 dushi ne sa bili, shtoto "dozens" e raztegliva kato lokum dumichka! Pravim edna smetka - 0.003 % ot "makednskoto maltsinstvo" (200 000) v Bulgaria se sybra da "commemorate the death of Jane Sandanski, a local hero of the struggle against Ottoman rule at the turn of the century." I-haaa to goliamo sybitie e bilo - s osobeno znachenie za tezi hora!!! pp. A be, selio t`va koia godina e?

... tozi pyt po seriozno!:)) Ako ne se lyzha provezhdaneto na tova chetsvane ot psevdo-makedontsite e bilo zabraneno ot vlastite(niakoi da mi kazhe dali i samata OMO ILINDEN e izobshto legalna, ili e izvyn zakona).Ami sled kato ne spazvat zakona, ne boi samo e bilo nuzhno, a i aresti i prisydi!!! Vsichki vidiahme kak amerikantsite si se opraviha s golemite, no "illegal" demonstratsii v Seattle! Mezhdudrugoto Amnesy Internetional ia syvetvam da otpravi pogled tam kydeto naistina ima problemi i nesporavedlivost - Gyrtsia, kydeto 99% ot naselenieto uzhkim sa chisti gyrtsi, a ne da se zanimava s provokatsii i da razduhva ogynia!

Samite reporti na Amnesty International za Republika Makedonija v tezi godini koito predstavja "MAKEDONEC" ne sa nikak po blagoprijatni. Ne iskam da se vpuskam v opetniavane i ocrvane na komshiite za koito Amnesty International niama mnogo DOBRI DUMI. A inache Amnesty International kritikuvat i takiva dyrzhavi kato Germanija i Velikobritanija.

znachi sprema tebe OK e da specijalna policija gi tepa Makedoncite samo zatoa shto otishle tamu.

koj zakon go prekrshile? ne smejat li Makedonci vo grupi da odat tamu so koli? samo so avtobusi li mozhe? imaa oruzhje li? shto tolku golema greshka napravia? da ne ukradoa neshto? da ne utepaa nekogo? sramota

Gledaj sega; tezi hora sa chlenove na OMO, a OMO e nezakonna organizacija. Ne mozhe Bugaria da tolerira organizacija, kojato saka da otkasne Pirin od Bugaria (pishe go v programata im). Kak bi se gledalo na organizacija vo RM, kojato v programata si iska RM da stane provincija na Bugarija? Toa e sashtoto. Pozdrav.

В този случай от Амнести изпускат две малки подробности: призивите, които участници в подобни провокации отправят за отцепване на българска територия, и фактът, че ОМО Илинден не е (била) регистрирана като партия или каквато и да е организация (т.е. тя юродически не съществува) и следователно е лишена от правото да организира каквито и да е масови прояви. Прояви, организирани от каквито и да е нерегистрирани организации по какъвто и да е повод, са преследвани от силовите структури на всички деморкатични държави като сериозно посегателство върху обществения мир. Второ, на нас, българите ни е много комично, че евентуалното лошо отношение на властите към една анти-държавна провокация, се третира като погазване на етнически права. Какъв е тоя етнос, дето етническите му права се свеждат до ежегодно поставяне на венци на гроба на човек, чиято принадлежност към въпросния етнос е повече от съмнителна. Трето, преобладаващата част от участниците в подобни анти-държавни провокации са граждани на Република Македония: как очаквате да реагират македонските власти, ако ние започнем да провеждаме подобни акции на гроба на Гоце Делчев или на родното място на Тодор Александров?

Biah siguren, che e bila izvyn zakona togava!!! Btw, zashto prodylzhava da se razduhva lyzhata s 200 000 makedontsi v Bulgaria i pogazvaneto na tehnite prava? Koi ima interes?

vidi. ako e toa taka zoshto ne gi sudat itn pa kako kje reshi sudot? ne treba da gi chekaat da odat na Pirin planina i tamu da gi tepaat bez sudenje. a shto ako ima takva organizacija so takov statut? ako za toa nema nikakvi shansi zoshto se plashite od nea? lugjeto mozhat da imaat takvi idei kakvi shto sakaat. toa e nivno pravo. jas mozham utre da napravam organizacija koja vo programata kje ima spojuvanje so Grcija. zarem za toa treba nekoj da me besi? ako programata nema osnova, ako toa spojuvanje e nerealno togash ne treba nikoj da se plashi od nego. ako e realno odnosno ako taka saka narodot togash znachi taka treba da bide. najvazhno e deka organizacijata ne stava bombi, ne pravi atentati, ne vregja nikogo, ne e rasistichka, ne e kriminalna itn. pozdrav
