ANEM press release see also: www.freeb92.net PUBLIC PROSECUTOR WON'T ACT ON B92 APPEAL BELGRADE, December 15, 1999 -- The Association of Independent Electronic Media in Yugoslavia was today informed by the Yugoslav Federal State Prosecutor that he will not act on a demand for protection of legality lodged against illegal actions in the take-over of Radio B92 in April this year. Deputy Federal Prosecutor Danilo Jovanovic justified the decision by saying that the court had not made the files on the case available to him until after the deadline for lodging the demand had expired. This is despite the demand having been lodged within the deadline and the delay being caused entirely by the internal administration of the court. ANEM believes this is a blatant attempt by the state prosecutor to avoid taking action against the illegal decisions of the Economic and Higher Courts, without attempting to explain the obvious breach of the law which occurred in the take-over of Radio B92. ANEM condemns the hypocritical strategy of the judiciary which obviously aims at avoiding protecting legality, as it is clear that the decisions of the lower courts have infringed the rights of the employees of the real Radio B92. ANEM notes such enforcement of the law occurs only in cases where the plaintiff is close to the government. Despite the scandalous tactics of the judiciary, ANEM gives notice that it will continue its struggle to protect the rights of all its members and their journalists, and in particular the rights of the employees of the real Radio B92 until the law is applied uniformly across the board and until Radio B92 is restored to its rightful owners. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
