SARAJEVO, April 17 (Hina) - In the next couple of days the Supreme
Court of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina is to decide about a
request to investigate and arrest three former senior Bosniak
police officials and intelligence agents, the Court's president
Vlado Adamovic stated on Wednesday. #L#
The Prosecution suspects the three aided terrorism and espionage on
behalf of the Iranian intelligence service, however, they claim
that the investigation violates their basic human rights.
In a brief statement to the press, a former Bosnian Interior
Minister and head of the Agency for Investigation and Documentation
(AID), Bakir Alispahic, his assistant Irfan Ljevakovic, and the
current chief of the Sarajevo AID office, Enver Mujezinovic, claim
that they were "shocked" to hear that criminal proceedings had been
initiated against them, particularly to learn about that in the
press.
The three intelligence agents believe that the investigation
against them and a subsequent "media campaign" is nothing more than
an "attack on the very foundations of the legal order in Bosnia-
Herzegovina".
The Party of Democratic Action (SDA) also condemned the criminal
charges against the three former intelligence chiefs. The party
believes that the investigation is aimed at "settling accounts with
people who considerably contributed to the fight against the
aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina".
The SDA believes that the parties currently in power in the country
"are attempting to criminalise the just struggle against
aggression and genocide" and impose suspicion on the Bosniak people
for their alleged connections to terrorism.
