LETTER TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SLOVENIA
 
To Dr. Janez Drnovsek
Prime Minister
Government of the Republic of Slovenia
 
Sir,
your government has transformed Slovenia into police state on the occasion
of the Bush-Putin meeting in Ljubljana:
 
- you denied to Amnesty International the permission to put up an
information stand;
- you refused to the ecological NGO Umanoterra the permission to hold a
protest manifestation; 
- your police is harrassing activists distributing protest leaflets to
by-passers; 
- persons have been summoned to "informational examination"; 
- your police has been scanning registration plates of the vehicles at
Metelkova, the alternative cultural center in Ljubljana; 
- your services are monitoring the electronic mail of several NGOs and
individuals; 
- your services are monitoring telephones of several individuals; 
- your border police has refused the entry into the country to several
foreign citizens.
 
You are certainly aware that the duty of a democratic government is to
secure freedoms and liberties to their citizens, and human rights to
everybody. I appeal to you to honour this committment on June 16, the day
of the meeting, as well as on every day of your mandate.
 
Respectfully,
 
Rastko Mocnik

PISMO PREDSEDNIKU VLADE
 
Spostovani,
ob srecanju Bush-Putin je vasa vlada Slovenijo spremenila v policijsko
drzavo: 
 
- Amnesty International niste izdali dovoljenja, da bi postavili
informacijsko stojnico;
- nevladni organizaciji Umanoterra niste izdali dovoljenja za protestno
manifestacijo; 
- policija nadleguje aktiviste, ki delijo protestne letake mimoidocim;
- posameznike so pozvali k "informacijskim pogovorom"; 
- policija popisuje registrske tablice vozil na Metelkovi v Ljubljani;
- vase sluzbe nadzorujejo elektronsko posto nekaterim nevladnim
organizacijam in posameznikom; 
- vase sluzbe nadzorujejo telefonske pogovore nekaterim posameznikom;
- obmejna policija je na meji zavrnila vec tujih drzavljanov.
 
Prav gotovo veste, da je dolznost demokraticne vlade, da zagotavlja svobodo
in svoboscine svojim drzavljankam in drzavljanom, vsakomur pa clovekove
pravice. Pozivam vas, da spostujete to castno obvezo na dan srecanja 16.
junija kakor tudi vse preostale dni svojega mandata.
 
S spostovanjem,
 
Rastko Mocnik
