SPLIT, June 19 (Hina) - The national headquarters for the
protection of the dignity of Croatia's Homeland Defence War will
stage a protest rally in Rijeka on June 25, demanding that Mirko
Norac, Milan Canic, Tihomir Oreskovic, Stjepan Grandic and Ivica

The headquarters will also protest against the State Prosecutor's
Office, which it says is "an extension of authority and is biased
and anti-Croat," Condic added.
He said the headquarters' request that the Rijeka prisoners be
tried without being detained was based on the Constitution and the
Penal Code, under which everybody is innocent until proven guilty
with a final court verdict.
Norac and other Gospic indictees are innocent and deserve much
credit and their imprisonment is unconstitutional and motivated by
political reasons as there is obviously a plan to smear their
reputation and break their spirit, Condic said.
