To the Presidency of Serbia

We have been informed that Mr Miodrag Milic was arrested on 25th July 1986 and is - as of 28th July 1986 - serving an eighteen month sentence.

The imprisonment of Mr. Miodrag Milic is in violation of the articles 166, 167 and 169 of Chapter 3 of the Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

As the rights laid down in the articles of Chapter 3 of this Constitution are also to be found in the United Nations Covenant on Political and Civil Rights of which your country is a State Party, Mr Milic imprisonment constitutes a violation of this International Covenant.

We therefore strongly protest against Mr Milic's imprisonment and demand his immediate and unconditional release.
