За Македонците во Бугарија

Јубилејниот 500-ти пост го посветувам на Македонците во Бугарија.

„Ако имаш информация за репресии над македонци от независим източник - някоя европейска институция или медия например, съм готов да го публикувам на блога си.“ - коментира Комитата.

Еве неколку интересни линка:

1) цитат од извештајот на ECRI (Совет на Европа) за Bulgaria:

„ECRI draws the authorities’ attention to the need to respect freedom of religion, on the one hand, and the freedom of association of Macedonians, on the other (...)

ECRI encourages the Bulgarian authorities to continue their efforts to improve the situation of other minority groups, including Turks, Macedonians and Pomaks (...)

Еве ги и препораките:

55. ECRI encourages the Bulgarian authorities to continue their efforts to improve the situation with regard to the right of peaceful assembly of all minority groups, including Macedonians.

56. ECRI also recommends that the Bulgarian authorities closely monitor allegations of discrimination and acts of intolerance against Macedonians and, if necessary, take steps to punish such acts.

57 Lastly, ECRI strongly recommends that the Bulgarian authorities establish a dialogue with the representatives of the Macedonians to find a solution to the tension that exists between this group and the authorities, but also between this group and the majority population, so as to enable them to live together and respect one another in the interests of all concerned.“

2) Human Rights in Bulgaria in 2005, според Бугарскиот Хелсиншки комитет:

„Freedom of association and peaceful assembly in Bulgaria were subject of three decisions handed down by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg in 2005. All three concerned Macedonians in Bulgaria, and in all three cases the Court found violations of Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights.“

3) Helsinki Committees denounce anti-minority rhetoric and discrimination in Bulgaria: „The minority policies of the Bulgarian government also remain of serious concern. Although several thousands of ethnic Macedonians reside in Bulgaria, the government denies the existence of a Macedonian minority in the country and insists that it does not have any obligation to protect this group. Representatives of all political parties represented in parliament recently backed this policy.“

4) Amnesty International Report 2002 - Europe - BULGARIA:„In March, the Blagoevgrad Public Prosecutor initiated a criminal investigation for incitement to racial or national hatred in connection with leaflets distributed by the United Macedonian Organization ''Ilinden'' (OMO ''Ilinden''), calling on the residents of the region to declare themselves in the census as Macedonians. However, no one had been charged by the end of the year.
In July, police prevented OMO ''Ilinden'' activists from holding a peaceful assembly to commemorate a national anniversary.“

5) Council of Europe and Olli Rehn declare that Bulgaria should register OMO “Ilinden” Pirin: “Why peaceful organisations are called dangerous and racist while the newspapers are full of racist declarations from existing parties and state representatives without any official reply or complaint. Not acting on this by the government will in the end result in compliance with political party murder.”

6) „The Greek Helsinki Monitor reports that the "Bulgarian state and public opinion alike deny their right to self-identification", and that "any actions pertaining to public demonstration of the Macedonian identity in Bulgaria are subjected to a more or less direct suppression and denial"“ (Human rights in Bulgaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

7) Еве линк и до отвореното писмо на „Омо Илинден Пирин“ - OMO Ilinden PIRIN Open Letter to the President of Bulgaria.

А еве како бугарската судијка во Стразбур објаснува зошто единствена гласала против пресудата против Бугарија:

„Снежана Ботушарова, която за първи път от три години гласува против осъдително за България решение, каза, че омовци са можели да предизвикат сблъсъци, защото са искали да правят сбирки по време на други официални прояви, където техните позиции са можели да бъдат сметнати за "провокационни".“ (ОМО "Илинден" осъди България)

Многу лошо образложение, од гледна точка на човекови права.

Вистинска срамота за капацитетите на бугарското судство.
