HHO against politicising of institutions of repression

ZAGREB, Sept 6 (Hina) - The Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights (HHO) issued a statement on Wednesday saying that it considered attempts to politicise the work of institutions of repression as wrong, particularly the announced focusing of the election campaign on the fight against crime and corruption.
ZAGREB, Sept 6 (Hina) - The Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights (HHO) issued a statement on Wednesday saying that it considered attempts to politicise the work of institutions of repression as wrong, particularly the announced focusing of the election campaign on the fight against crime and corruption.

"Regardless of the original intentions and the undisputed right of parties to chose topics for their campaigns, we want to warn that the consequences of an atmosphere created that way are dangerous," the HHO says.

It goes on to say that in such a situation every decision by police, the state prosecution or courts could be interpreted as a sign of support to the authorities or lack of support to the opposition.

This would bring into question the long, difficult and gradual process of ridding bodies of repression of political pressure, the HHO claims.

The organisation also claims that the government is not acting in line with its responsibility to the public, particularly when faced with serious allegations of corruption, since its responses more and more frequently contain elements of party rhetoric rather than of an awareness of the responsibility of the democratically elected executive authorities.

The HHO concludes that the ruling and opposition parties would be able to focus more on their own task - the democratisation of the community, if they left relevant state institutions to do their job.
