The Hague Tribunal - death chambers
The following happened: the prisoners of the tribunal who are under treatment usually take the medicines prescribed by the doctor in the morning and evening. They are brought in plastic containers. 5 in January V.Sheshely was brought his medicine, but in the container, besides the usual ones, there was a new pill, different from his medicines in appearance. V. Seselj refused to take an unknown drug, on which there was no labeling. The guard returned the drug to the doctor, who drew up a report on the incident.
We will explain what caused such close attention to the treatment and medications prescribed by the doctors of the tribunal. The 14 of the Serbs, for whom the ICTY has filed charges, quickly died - whether in the tribunal itself, during the execution of the punishment, or shortly after leaving the tribunal (death under unexplained circumstances, illness, suicide). In the process, which the procuracy of the tribunal considered to be "crown", against the Serbian ex-president S. Milosevic, the prosecutor’s office completely failed the accusatory part. She failed to prove any of the 66 counts. Then the tribunal were carried out fraud with drugs. Only one new drug used in the treatment of leprosy was introduced into the treatment complex, which successfully treated S. Milosevic for high blood pressure and other heart diseases. This drug blocked the action of the others, which eventually led to a tragic outcome - the death of S. Milosevic. More precisely - his murder by those who deliberately introduced a cure for leprosy into the prescribed therapy. However, no one not only incurred punishment for the murder of the former Serbian president, but the tribunal also accused S. Milosevic that he allegedly did not fulfill the prescriptions of the tribunal’s doctors, did not accept or took at his own discretion the drugs not prescribed to him.
V. Seselj consistently defends his position: he will not give the tribunal such a trump card as “evading treatment”, no matter how it ends for him, he considers it necessary to carry out all the prescriptions of the tribunal’s doctors. Including - so that it is clear how exactly they are treating, what are the results of treatment, which, given only the worsening of V.Sechel's health, cannot be described otherwise than the conscious harm to health and the staging of V.Shechel’s life.
So, the doctor in his official note acknowledged that this drug is an unknown drug that is not a medicine prescribed to them by V. Seselj. He also agreed to act as a witness in the event that V. Seselj insists on investigating the incident.
In general, over the last month, V.Sheshelya has exacerbated problems with tachycardia, arrhythmia and high pressure. The arrhythmia is so strong that it ranges from 150 beats per minute to 50 beats ... (1) This in itself indicates either the professional unsuitability of the tribunal’s doctors, or, which is much more likely, that they are fulfilling an order to fail to provide the necessary medical assistance, deliberately causing harm to health, which is a criminal offense.
It is worth recalling the dubious operation carried out by V. Seselj in September of 2010. The operation was of an underground, doubtful, if not criminal nature. Doubts are related to the fact that the prescription to conduct a medical examination of V. Sheshelya's health status. The Court of Justice III, headed by J.-C.Antoinetti, issued 30 July 2010, but within a month and a half the order was not fulfilled. Instead, all of a sudden, without his own prior consent and without a full diagnostic examination with all the necessary equipment. V. Seselj 17 September 2010, underwent an operation under general anesthesia - cardiac ablation (local microwave electromagnetic, i.e. high frequency currents, damaging therapeutic effect on the pathological focus of increased excitability of the heart muscle or pathways). If there was no preliminary examination, it means that the possible risks were not taken into account - the formation of blood clots, heart attack or stroke. October 19 2010 (after the operation, but not before!) Trial Chamber III decided to conduct a medical examination of V. Seselya with a detailed report on his state of health. But he was examined only by three doctors - two western and one (pulmonologist) - from Russia. V. Seselj insisted that all three doctors be independent, from Russia, including a cardiologist vital for him, but the tribunal of Russian specialists allowed only a pulmonologist to be examined. The inspection itself took place only five months later, in March 2011 (!), And then without equipment and analysis. The detailed report on the survey results required by the Court of Justice has not been submitted to this day. Also, to this day, neither V.Sheshel himself nor his relatives, nor legal advisers have been provided with information on the progress and results of the operation. The current sharp deterioration in the health of V. Seselj clearly indicates its destructive consequences for the organism.
The main thing is that so far, for all the years during which V. Šešel systematically indicates heart problems, the reasons for his arrhythmia have not been identified, no diagnosis has been made. Nevertheless, V.Sheshelyu was prescribed medication in the absence of a diagnosis! Currently, he takes digitalis, verapamil, beta-blockers - drugs that can be prescribed in complex therapy for cardiac arrhythmias. Usually, with different types of arrhythmias, drugs are prescribed depending on the identified pathology. However, we repeat, no one has exact data on V.Sechel’s health status from 2009. Then, in 2009, the Serbian professor of medicine Zdravko Miyailovich, who examined Šešelj, indicated that the drugs prescribed to the leader of the Serbian radicals, as a side effect It is an arrhythmia that causes severe health effects, and a fatal outcome is not excluded. The question is: how long a person placed in a prison cell will still be able to withstand such a serious heart rhythm disturbance, such a severe arrhythmia and tachycardia (not counting other diseases that are not cured in prison walls - bronchial asthma and liver disease)? If the extrajudicial killing of the ICTY with V. Seselj is not a gross violation of the fundamental human right, the right to life, then what is it then?

The incident with the extraneous drug case is not over. 7 January 2012. The leadership of the Serbian Radical Party received information that V. Šešel was found unconscious on the floor in his cell and immediately transferred to Leiden Hospital in The Hague. The only thing that is known at the moment is V. Seselj is in the university clinic, he entered with symptoms of severe weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, heaviness in the chest, periodic squeezing and pain with a feeling of irregular heartbeat, anxiety.
The hospital doctor assured that his condition is “stable.” Relatives and friends of Seselj are sure of the opposite: the life of V. Seselj is under threat! The fact is that the tribunal is at an impasse, the prosecutor’s office failed, not proving a single point of accusation. V. Seselj refused the defensive part of the process, in March he should make a final speech.
And the tribunal began to increase pressure: for three months (!) An illegally introduced regime prohibiting privileged communication with legal advisers (now it is allowed to speak only by open communication) and reducing visits is in effect. The rationale for the ban is: "The Secretariat suspects that Seselj uses privileged communication for political activities." This is the standard formula "specially for Seselj." It has already been used repeatedly, and each time on the eve of elections. Thus, on January 8, the 2004 Tribunal introduced a “total isolation” regime for Šešelj and forbade him any kind of communication with “other persons” for the term of 30 days. Then 6 February, the deputy secretary extended the isolation for another 30 days, motivating his decision by saying that “in the parliamentary elections in Serbia on December 28 2003, the party headed by the accused received 82 from 250 seats in the Republic of Serbia.” Consequently, according to V. Šešelj’s legal advisers, the tribunal blames Šešelj for the very existence of such an “inconvenient” political force in Serbia for the tribunal. 9 March 2004. Communication ban extended by another 30 days; 8 on April 2004. Its next extension by the Tribunal’s secretariat is explained very frankly: “... the appointment of presidential elections in Serbia for 13 on June 2004 in June”; the next extension for 30 days is followed by 7 May (again under the pretext of elections), then 9 June, all for the same period, based on the former desire to prevent the participation of V. Seselj in the political life of Serbia, since “There is a possibility that the second round of elections will be held on 27 in May of 2004” (2). The ICTY is almost not shy to expose its real face to a supranational body on quasi-judicial reprisals against "undesirable" political figures in individual countries.
The Šešelj case is unprecedented in many ways. Recall that, among other things, it is unique in its “two beginnings” of the process. The first commencement of the ICTY trial against V. Šešelj was the presentation of the prosecution with an opening speech in the absence of the accused. Then the tribunal tried to deprive V. Seselj of the right to defend in person and impose on him a lawyer - David Hooper from Great Britain. V. Seselj in protest against the imposed lawyer was forced to declare a hunger strike that lasted 28 days. Nonetheless, Prosecutor Hildegard Huerz-Retzlaf, on behalf of the 27 Prosecutor’s Office in November 2006, delivered an introductory speech, stressing the importance of justice and respect for the law, in the absence of V. Seselj in the courtroom. By that time, almost three weeks of hunger strike (which lasted from 10 November to 8 December 2006) had passed, putting his life in jeopardy, through which V. Šešel defended his right to defend himself in court personally ... The hunger strike was terminated under pressure from the world community. The Tribunal formed a new court of justice, the Appeals Chamber returned to V. Seselj the right to defend himself and declared legally void all the proceedings taken since the imposition of a lawyer on him.
The second time the process began only after almost five years, in November of 2007, but then there were huge breaks in his work. The first expert of the prosecution - in order to identify the notorious "hate speech" - was made by a professor of sociology from the United States, Anthony Obrshall. According to the results of his research, E.Obrshall stated that nowhere in the speeches of V. Sešelya he found incitement to torture, murder of prisoners of war, women, children, taking hostages, rape, destruction of sacred objects or objects of education, robbery of property. That is, in nature there is not a single statement by Seselj where he would call for committing a crime. For such a "puncture" Anthony Obrshall was disqualified as an expert and subsequently spoke in the process only as an ordinary witness ...
The "Case of Seselj" is also unique in that the notorious "hate speech", which is one of the main points of the prosecution, according to international legal norms, is an object of civil law, not criminal. In this sense, the tribunal violates the human right to freedom of speech, guaranteed by Art. 10 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, art. 19 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Art. 19 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The "Case of Seselj" is unique in three parallel processes (relative to the main one) for contempt of court. The first two were sentenced - 15 and 18 months of imprisonment, just 33 a month - this is more than the commanders of the BiH Army received for killing civilians: for example, the thug Naser Oric, who recorded on the video and boasted of his atrocities, got the 24 of the month ... The review of the ICTY did not physically eliminate the 30 order of witnesses and their families during the trial against the commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Ramush Haradinaj (3). But Haradinai wrote in his memoirs: “We constantly attacked the Serbian forces. At any place. Day and night. Not hiding. We killed Serb policemen every day ”(4). However, it is in the case of V. Sešelya that the ICTY claims that there is “pressure on witnesses” (all of which, we note, are alive, live and did not note any concern regarding the Seselj process). Now comes the third (!) Trial on contempt charges. There may be at least ten more. So the tribunal, which could not prove anything, “covers” the time spent by the leader of the Serbian radicals in the bullpen. And finally, the duration of the trial - nine years - is unprecedented in the world legal practice ...
The Serbian Radical Party officially declares: what they are doing in the Hague Tribunal over V. Seselj is torture that must be stopped immediately. It is necessary to conduct a medical examination by independent doctors with the obligatory inclusion of Russian cardiologists and other specialists, to return the privileged communication and the normal mode of visits to relatives. The question of life for Vojislav Seselj is his treatment in a medical institution not controlled by the Hague Tribunal only and exclusively.
The Tribunal, pumping huge funds for its maintenance (officially - 300 million dollars only last year, plus financial investments from 33 countries, from Rockefeller, Soros, Carnegie and others), continues to do its selfish business, filling its pockets , fulfilling a political order, cracking down on Serbian politicians of the first magnitude.
* * *
The obscene political spectacle staged within the walls of the Hague Tribunal against V. Seselj has a meaning that goes far beyond the fate of one person. The life of a long-term prisoner of the Hague dungeons, the largest and most popular politician of modern Serbia, a friend of Russia Vojislav Seselj is being criminally shortened now only so that in the spring 2012 elections the party headed by him does not become the leading political force of the country, and a new rapprochement historical allies - Serbia and Russia - would not have turned into a significant factor in the general European policy.
