The news that General Nebojša Pavković died yesterday in Belgrade, just two weeks after he was released to receive medical treatment in Serbia, saddened the Serbian public, especially those who remember General Pavković’s merits, as well as the significantly younger generation who grew up witnessing injustice.
Other prisoners serving sentences determined by the Hague Tribunal were also exposed to inhumane conditions. At the end of February, the Serbian public pointed out the poor treatment General Radovan Karadžić was receiving due to the denial of medical assistance, which even endangered his life.
His daughter, Sonja Karadžić, spoke to “Puls Srbije” on Kurir Television about the treatment her father is receiving.
“Nothing has changed, he had some examinations, but we don’t have the results. He feels somewhat better, as he says, bearable, and anyone who knows him knows that he can endure a lot, not just physical pain, but also mental torture. His ‘bearable’ would be completely unbearable for many people. In any case, he is a little better than he was, but it is far from good,” Sonja began, then continued:
“They are not capable of organizing the simplest abdomen ultrasound so we can see why those problems and unpleasant events, like the ones we’ve had several times during his time in Britain, occurred, just as we don’t know what consequences such conditions left. Besides the health problems that are expected at his age, he has many more functional problems, and those are the limitations and sanctions since he went there. This includes limited contact with his family, the inability to see them, and the wiretapping and recording of conversations with legal advisers. They break into his room every now and then, take away his belongings, they took his mattress, his desk chair, and did not give him any extra light.”
