Compensation to Kosovo Albanians for human rights violations

The NGO said the case concerned Behram Sahiti, Elmir Musliu, Enver Baleci and 13 old Faton Halilaj who were arrested on in May 1999 and then taken to a prison in Lipljan, then to Zabela near Pozarevac where they were exposed to abuse and torture on a daily basis.

"Because of the torture and cruel treatment, all six men today suffer serious mental and physical consequences for their health. On behalf of the former detainees, the FHP started a legal action against the Republic of Serbia in 2010, asking for compensation for mental suffering due to decreased vital activities, which is a result of the torture and unlawful detention, to amounts between 400,000 and 500,000 dinars," the FHP statement said.

The NGO added that the court's decision established the right to compensation, but protested the amount of money awarded, adding that the ruling indicated the intention to diminish the responsibility of the state for widespread torture of Kosovo Albanians in 1999.

The FHP has appealed against the ruling.
