Cerita Boikot


Kenalkah anda wajah siapa ini? Tak mengapa, kenal ataupun tidak, ini adalah gambar Radovan Karadzic. Pernah dengar nama itu? Pernah tahu? Pernah dengar ceritanya? pernah tahu dosanya?

Malang bagi Muslim yang tidak mengenali Karadzic. Amat malang sekali. Dan amat tidak patut kalau tidak pernah mendengar nama ini.

Mungkin ketika dia masyhur dulu, kebanyakan kita (yang seusia aku) masih kecil. Ya, masih mentah untuk mengetahui dan mengambil kesah tentang pergolakan dunia. Tetapi tidak berapa lama dulu, 21 Julai 2008, beliau ditangkap di Belgrade.

Aku menyebut tentang dosa, tentang pergolakan dunia, tentang ditangkap. Kenapa? Kerana manusia ini (kalau masih layak dipanggil manusia) merupakan seorang penjenayah perang. (perang itupun sebenarnya sudah merupakan satu jenayah!). Kaitannya dengan kita? Kaitannya ada apabila kita membaca dan meneliti biodata dan 'kerja tangan'nya.

Radovan Karadžić born June 19, 1945(1945-06-19) in Petnjica, SR Montenegro, SFR (Yugoslavia) is a former Bosnian Serb politician, poet and psychiatrist. He is currently on trial in the United Nations Detention Unit of Scheveningen accused of war crimes committed against Bosnian Muslims, Bosnian Croats, and other non-Serbs during the Siege of Sarajevo. He is also accused of the Srebrenica genocide.

Educated as a psychiatrist, he co-founded the Serbian Democratic Party in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was the first President of Republika Srpska from 1992 to 1996.

He was a fugitive from 1996 until July 2008 after having been indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The indictment concluded there were reasonable grounds for believing he committed war crimes including genocide, against Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat civilians during the Bosnian War (1992–1995).[3] While a fugitive he worked at a private clinic in Belgrade specialising in alternative medicine and psychology under the alias Dr. Dragan David Dabić (Др Драган Давид Дабић) under the company name of “Human Quantum Energy”. His nephew, Dragan Karadžić has claimed in an interview to the Corriere della Sera that Radovan Karadžić attended football matches of Serie A and that he visited Venice under the false identity of Petar Glumac.

He was arrested in Belgrade on 21 July, 2008 and brought before Belgrade’s War Crimes Court a few days later. He was extradited to the Netherlands, and is currently in The Hague, in the custody of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

War crimes charges

Karadžić is accused by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) of personal and command responsibility for numerous war crimes committed against non-Serbs, in his roles as Supreme Commander of the Bosnian Serb armed forces and President of the National Security Council of the Republika Srpska. He is accused by the same authority of being responsible for the deaths of more than 7500 Muslims. Under his direction and command, Bosnian Serb forces initiated the Siege of Sarajevo and carried out numerous massacres across Bosnia. Tens of thousands of non-Serbs were killed, hundreds of thousands were driven from their homes and thousands more were imprisoned in concentration camps where many died. He is accused by the ICTY of ordering the Srebrenica massacre in 1995, directing Bosnian Serb forces to "create an unbearable situation of total insecurity with no hope of further survival of life" in the UN safe area. In addition, he is accused by the ICTY of ordering that United Nations personnel be taken hostage in May-June 1995.

He was jointly indicted by the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in 1995, along with General Ratko Mladić. The indictment charges Karadžić on the basis of his individual criminal responsibility (Article 7(1) of the Statute) and superior criminal responsibility (Article 7(3) of the Statute) with:

Five counts of crimes against humanity (Article 5 of the Statute - extermination, murder, persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds, persecutions, inhumane acts (forcible transfer));
Three counts of violations of the laws of war (Article 3 of the Statute - murder, unlawfully inflicting terror upon civilians, taking hostages);
One count of grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions (Article 2 of the Statute - willful killing).
Unlawful transfer of civilians because of religious or national identity.

The United States government offered a $5 million reward for his and Ratko Mladić's arrests.

Maka kenapa tiba-tiba hari ini dia naik nama? sila baca berita ini pula.


Radovan Karadzic pulau perbicaraan

BEKAS pemimpin Serb Bosnia, Radovan Karadzic memulaukan perbicaraan jenayah kemanusiaan terhadapnya di sini yang dijadual bermula esok.

Kelmarin, Karadzic, 64, memberi alasan kononnya dia tidak diberikan masa mencukupi untuk melakukan persediaan bagi membela diri dalam perbicaraan tersebut.

"Saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa persediaan pembelaan saya bagi perbicaraan ini yang dijadualkan pada 26 Oktober masih belum siap," katanya dalam sepucuk surat kepada Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa di Belanda bagi bekas Yugoslavia (ICTY).

"Justeru, saya tidak akan hadir pada tarikh tersebut," tambahnya.

Karadzic berdepan hukuman penjara seumur hidup berhubung 11 pertuduhan jenayah penghapusan etnik Bosnia dan Croatia selain jenayah perang dan jenayah kemanusiaan ketika Perang Bosnia pada 1992-95.

Seramai 100,000 orang terbunuh manakala 2.2 juta yang lain menjadi pelarian akibat perang tersebut.

Ketika itu, Karadzic selaku Presiden Serb-Bosnia didakwa bertanggungjawab mengarahkan pembunuhan lebih 7,000 lelaki dan kanak-kanak Islam di bandar Srebrenica, Bosnia pada 1995.

Karadzic yang ditangkap di Belgrade pada 21 Julai tahun lalu kini berada dalam tahanan ICTY di sini, bagaimanapun beliau menafikan semua dakwaan terhadapnya.

Sementara itu, pendakwaraya ICTY, Serge Brammertz memberitahu, perbicaraan terhadap Karadzic dijangka mengambil masa antara dua hingga tiga tahun setengah. - AFP

Maka aku rasa terpanggil untuk sedikit menulis. Seorang penjenayah seronok-seronok sahaja nak boikot tak nak boikot mahkamah, nak hadir tak nak hadir. Aku fikir filem P. Ramlee sahaja ada aksi 'don't try this at home', rupa-rupanya, mahkamah antarabangsa (yang paling besar-aku kira) bakal berlaku juga perkara pelik.

Entahlah. Sebagai seorang Muslim, aku sangat benci manusia ini (sekali lagi, kalau layak dipanggil manusia), sejak hari pertama sampai ke telingaku bahawa Muslim di Bosnia cuba dipupuskan.

Siapa yang bersalah, belum tentu lagi. Adakah benar dia bersalah, belum tentu lagi. Perbicaraan belumpun lagi bermula. Diapun tak mengaku bersalah. Tak mengapalah.

Yang penting, kita. Di mana kita bila saudara-saudara kita di Iraq, di Palestin, di Afghanistan, di Kashmir dan di banyak tempat lagi di seluruh sudut dunia ditindas, ditembak, didera, dibunuh, di pupuskan dari muka dunia. Di mana kita? Apa pendirian kita? Menyokong yang dizalimi? Menyokong yang menzalimi? Melihat sahaja? Tutup mata dan telinga? Tak kesah? Apa tindakan kita?

Dan malangnya, kebanyakan kita (maksud aku, ada antara kita) tak tahu isupun. Dengar hujung-hujung telinga, angin-angin berita sahaja. Maka bagaimana hendak peka. Apatah lagi untuk menitikkan air mata. Jauh!.

Dan, semasa aku ke Konvesyen Berakhirnya Agenda Zionis tidak lama dulu, penceramah dari Lubnan (rakyat Palestin) ditanya oleh seorang yang hadir, mengapa tidak dibawa pemimpin-pemimpin israel ke mahkamah jenayah antarabangsa. Beliau menjawab, (lebih kurang) "Kami sedang berusaha. Kami sedang mengumpul bukti. Tetapi prosesnya amat sulit kerana tiada individu daripada kalangan Muslim yang mahir dengan selok-belok undang-undang antarabangsa. Kalau ada antara kalian boleh membantu, di alu-alukan." Aku ingin mengulang sekali lagi, 'tiada Muslim yang benar-benar berkemahiran dalam hal ini.'

Maka kita nak harapkan siapa? Siapa? Maka sampai bila kita akan begini? Sampai kiamatlah penjenayah Israel akan terus berleluasa dan tak akan dapat dibicarakan. Tetapi, alhamdulillah, ada yang berusaha. Harapkan kita. Salam...

Orang kata, kalau tak boleh berbuat semua, jangan tinggal semua, bertindaklah setakat boleh. Kerana kita di nilai mengikut apa yang kita perbuat. Bukan hasilnya.

Aku akhiri dengan satu kata-kata Karadzic:

"You want to take Bosnia and Herzegovina down the same highway to hell and suffering that Slovenia and Croatia are travelling. Do not think that you will not lead Bosnia and Herzegovina into hell, and do not think that you will not perhaps lead the Muslim people into annihilation, because the Muslims cannot defend themselves if there is war - How will you prevent everyone from being killed in Bosnia and Herzegovina?"[9]

—Radovan Karadžić speaking at the Bosnian parliament, on the night of 14-15 October 1991, in a charged atmosphere in a debate whether to declare the republic "sovereign", which would mean that republic's laws would take precedence over Yugoslav ones.

nota: orang nak boikot mahkamah. kita, nak boikot apa?
(tak ada idea sebenarnya nak menyusun ayat)
