Croatian veterans protest outside Bosnian embassy over Purda case

Autor: mses
ZAGREB, Feb 11 (Hina) - A score of Croatian war veterans on Friday staged a peaceful protest rally in front of the embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zagreb, demanding the immediate release of Tihomir Purda from extradition detention in Zenica.

The protesters handed a note to the embassy in which they protest against "the judicial terror" by Bosnian judicial institutions against Croatian war veteran Purda, who was arrested in Bosnia on 5 January on an international warrant issued in Serbia, where he is wanted for alleged war crimes in Vukovar in 1991.

They said that they were flabbergasted by the inability of the Bosnian State Court to see that the Serbian judiciary was framing Purda.

They also warn that Purda's detention in Zenica for 40 days is badly affecting his health and demand his immediate release for humane reasons.

Serbia insists on the transfer of Purda, who is being kept in six-month extradition prison in Bosnia. His lawyer lodged an appeal against his detention and informed the Bosnian judicial institutions that the request for Purda's handover to Serbia was based only on a statement his client had given under torture in a Serbian concentration camp.
