UNMIK/PR/479
SRSG Hans Haekkerup today demanded the return of all Kosovo prisoners detained in Serbia, without further delay.
Regarding the proposed amnesty which is under consideration by the Yugoslav parliament, he urged the FRY authorities to release all those covered by the law that he hoped would be adopted soon, according to the provisions of the law.
“Those prisoners who would not fall within the scope of the Amnesty Law should be returned to Kosovo and will have their cases processed through a judicial review in Kosovo conducted under the supervision of UNMIK,” he said today. “UNMIK would make sure that this review will be initiated immediately, according to international human rights and judicial standards.”
