A RALLY IN FRONT OF UNPROFOR HEADQUARTERS IN ZAGREB

ZAGREB, Feb 12 (Hina) - Families of Croatian killed, detained or missing defenders and civilians from Osijek, Sisak, Cakovec and Zagreb and members of the "Vukovar Mothers" association today rallied in front of the UN Protection Force headquarters in the Croatian capital. In memory of the dead, detained and missing members of their families the assembled people lit candles and laid wreaths on the wall built by black bricks as a symbol for the killed people and the red bricks as a symbol for the detained and missing persons. The head of the Osijek-based association of the families whose dearest are missing or detained Croat defenders, Mrs. Stefica Krstic , said the rally did not have any political purpose, but they had gathered ahead of Valentine's Day in memory of their dearest who were killed and of those whose whereabouts are still unknown. The rally sent a letter to the UN special envoy, Yasushi Akashi, which should remind Mr. Akashi of the fact that UNPROFOR had done nothing to help seek truth about the missing people from Croatian Homeland War.
