FAMILIES OF DECEASED AND DISAPPEARED BILD MOHUND

ZAGREB, Nov 1 (Hina) - Over 1,500 displaced persons and members of the families of the deceased and disappeared Croatian defenders light candles and built a mohund with a white cross in front of the UNPROFOR Zagreb HQ. The mohund symbolizes the Croatian youth, all deceased in the war in Croatia, and especially those whose graves are not known or cannot be reached. "This is the grave for all those who started with their hearts against the Serbian aggressor, but also for the members of the ECMM and UNPROFOR who were killed in Croatia, not because of our country but because of the world policy. This grave is for the journalists who were killed for bringing the truth about Croatia to the world," the Vice-President of the Association of the Families of the Detained and the Disappeared Croatian Defenders Zdenka Farkas said. Displaced persons and members of their families expressed support to President Tudjman and requested him to tell the world that this is the last year they are denied lighting candles in the graveyards in their occupied villages and towns. Members of the Croatian Association of Women Intellectuals delivered three copies of their publication A Hundred Testimonies which brings moving testimonies of Croatian displaced persons and detainees. The books are intended to UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali, UNPROFOR Commander Jean Cot and UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Tadeusz Mazowiecki. (End) j-vk 011446 MET nov 93
