Letter HLC to Interior Affairs Minister Mr Ivica Dacic

Republic of Serbia, Ministry of the Interior
Interior Affairs Minister Mr. Ivica Dačić

Bulevar Mihaila Pupina 2
11060 Belgrade

Dear Minister,

For the past few days members of the Serbian police in Leskovac have been protesting the arrest of four former members of the 37th Battalion of Special Police Units (SPJ/PJP) of the Ministry of the Interior (MUP) of the Republic of Serbia. Yesterday they were joined by reserve members of the police, all of them wearing T-shirts with photographs of the arrested PJP members printed on the front and a message reading Heroes of the 37th Battalion on the back. Police officers Nenad Stojković, (MUP Serbia Lieutenant-Colonel), Zoran Marković, Dragan Milenković, and Zoran Nikolić were arrested after the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) filed a criminal complaint against 17 former members of the 37th PJP Battalion on March 2, 2009 and after TV B92 had aired an interview (with proper voice and image distortion) with police officer–witnesses of the crimes which are the subject matter of the criminal complaint.
