Solidarity Campaign

7th October 2008

Dear friends,

We invite you to join our appeal for solidarity with Sonja Biserko and for her personal protection.

The attack on Sonja Biserko (the President of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, in Serbia) is a continuance of the attacks on human rights defenders in Serbia occurring since the beginning of the wars in former Yugoslavia. During this long period of time, we have all been victims of those attacks directed towards activists advocating for a radical discontinuity with the criminal past.

We kindly ask you to support us as you have supported us in our actions of the past.

Please send this letter (in an attachment), as an act of nonviolent pressure on the governing bodies in Serbia in order to maintain our own security and elementary Human Rights, to the following addresses:
