The state of the world's human rights

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights of the Republic of Macedonia was astonished to learn from the media about the resignation of its President Osman Kadriu due to the “disputed” press release regarding the authentic interpretation of the Amnesty Law. |

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights of the Republic of Macedonia once again reiterates the position that under no circumstances there can be amnesty for cases of serious violation of the international humanitarian law. |

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights of the Republic of Macedonia is surprised by the news report broadcast on the Sitel TV station on 4 July 2011, which includes a 4-year-old news that the International Helsinki Federation ceased to exist, a report broadcast by all media at that time. The clumsy construction combined with a statement taken out of context by the MHF president can be seen as none other than an attempt to discredit and put pressure on the Committee’s work. Sitel TV station is obviously continuing with the unscrupulous scenario of the state authorities to discredit and stigmatise all those who think differently or criticize them. Pertaining to this act of pressure and attempt for discrediting by the TV station, the Committee shall notify all relevant domestic and international organisations and institutions. |

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights of the Republic of Macedonia completely supports the expression of indignation and dissatisfaction as well as the demands[1] of the young people that have raised their voices against the brutality and the violence of individuals from the public institutions and the shameful support and covering up of the crimes of those individuals by the most senior representatives of those institutions. |
 | A democratic state or a police dictatorship? | | |

One day after the elections the country was stunned by the news that a member of the police forces brutally killed a young 23 year old man by excessive use of force. This sounds like good morning to the reforms announced by the winning political party that is to continue with the "reforms” from the point at which they stopped. |
