(en) Serbia, 10 days of prison for the IWA General Secretary
Date
Thu, 21 May 2009 17:39:47 +0300
Ratibor Trivunac, member of the Union Confederation "Anarcho-syndicalist Initiative" and
General Secretary of the International Workers Association, was convicted yesterday
evening to ten days of prison for the burning of the US flag in the center of Belgrade. A
group of anarchists organized an illegal protest yesterday as a reaction to the visit of
the US Vice President Joseph Biden to Belgrade. During the protest Trivunac burned the US
flag and read a statement condemning the role of the USA in reproduction of capitalist
relations, wars, exploitation and discrimination in the world. ---- Belgrade district
judge Goran Milutinović sentenced Ratibor and ordered him to be immediately sent to prison
without giving him a chance for appeal! Other comrades that have been arrested were
released without charges. Our lawyer will try to appeal the sentence today.
Burning of the flag is a symbolic act of protest and we find the
actions of judge Milutinović to be scandalous. We refuse to obey
orders, we refuse to keep quiet! We will always burn the symbols
of exploitation and oppression!
We would like to call for international actions of solidarity if
Ratibor is not released by Saturday morning. We will keep
informing you of developments. The IWA Secretariat can be
contacted, as usual, by telephone number +381-63-263-775 or
email (we would prefer by telephone as we may not check the email
regularly during the following days).
Freedom for Ratibor!
Long live the IWA!
On behalf of the IWA Secretariat,
Nikola Pavlović
