  • Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the Committee's Ranking Republican Member, senior Committee member Dana Rohrabacher, and Senator Joseph Biden, now Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, appealed to the Montenegrin government to either produce proof of criminal activity and bring the fourteen Albanians to trial in timely fashion or release them immediately. To date their letters have gone unanswered.

  • Amnesty International and Helsinki International intervened, challenging the Montenegrin authorities to investigate the torture of the fourteen men. At the urging of the Albanian American Civic League, Members of the U.S. Congress, specifically, Congressman Tom Lantos, now Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs

  • Until they appeared before the higher court in Podgorica, the fourteen did not know why they had been arrested and humiliated, beaten for hours at a time, forced to remain on their knees for prolonged periods, threatened with weapons and electricity, and starved for three days. As of this writing, Kola Dedvukaj's health has deteriorated so badly that his life is at risk.

  • The night before their arrest, they, along with most of the other fourteen, had attended a peaceful political rally in Tuzi in support of the ethnic Albanian politician who was subsequently elected to the Montenegrin parliament.

  • At the time of their arrest, the three Americans (Kola Dedvukaj, Rrok Dedvukaj, and Sokol Ivanaj) were on vacation in Montenegro. Kola and Rrok, the two detainees that I know personally, are both retired Chrysler assembly line workers from suburban Detroit. Rrok retired because of spinal problems, and this was his first vacation to Montenegro in twenty-five years

  • the government released a statement to the press, stating that the men had been apprehended because they were a part of an organized, terrorist group bent on overthrowing the state. No evidence was provided, but photographs of a cache of weapons uncovered by the government—all of which appeared to be of World War II vintage—were splashed across the front pages of the Montenegrin media

  • OW this is so wrong... that people is cancer!

  • @SwissBullion: Yeah, they do. But I guess they figured that sex and organ trafficking becomes more profitable when they expand. Funny, that they want the U.S to hang Djukanovic; who is very much liked by them. And there's Kosovo, 60% unemployed and rising, and majority of the money going in their comes from trafficking in drugs, organs, and women. They were more stable under Serbian rule.

  • @ponchoalonso14 They think America is going to help them take over the former Yugoslavia. They already embarrassed the US by trafficing organs from kosovo and turning it into a narco state. These people are sick in the head.

  • Albanians starting shit in Montenegro? NO WAY!!!! RIGHTS? What rights? They want Albanian to be an official language just like Macedonia? riiiiight. First kosovo, then Macedonia now Montenegro. Don't these people already have a country called ALBANIA?
