Poison in his food? - And Justice for None

MILOSEVIC: Please bear in mind the following: For three years, the
same doctors have considered me fit from the point of view of health
to function, and you yourselves have been able to see that. Even Mr.
Nice, in support of his motion that I be given as little time as
possible, put forward the argument that I have been functioning very
efficiently. So for three years the same doctors have considered me
fit to function. Then an independent doctor turns up from Belgium,
the country which is the seat of the NATO pact, and he says I'm unfit
and then the doctors here agree with him.
Allow me to bring into question this kind of deduction of medical
evidence. Please consider my motion and let the experts evaluate the
situation, but I ask for an expert from Russia, from Serbia, from
Greece, and then you can add two of your own, if you like, whom you
will appoint, to see what this is about. Things are being mystified
here when in fact they are very simple.
I see this as a manipulation aimed at depriving me of my right to
speak here and to speak the truth. That is the essence of it all. Mr.
Nice says in support of his argument that a lawyer should be imposed
on me, counsel should be imposed on me, that I am too involved and am
unable to be dispassionate. However, I feel that the other side is
too dispassionate when it comes to the truth. I cannot, of course,
interfere in how the other side do their job, but they cannot
interfere in the way I exercise my rights. That too is a question of
principle. Therefore I wish to reiterate: My right to defend myself
is something that I will neither accept having diminished nor will I
ever waive it. Please bear that in mind. And you can reach your own
decisions, but I receive the medicaments given to me by your people,
your employees.

- What is happening here, I don't know, but I can bring the whole floor of the
- Detention Unit here to testify to what happened when the food I had was
- exchanged with the food of the person across the passageway, and there was a
- big to-do about setting things right, although the food apparently was the
- same. It appeared to be the same. And I did not raise the issue. I don't know
- what was going on. But please be kind enough to bear in mind that when, for
- three years, they have been saying one thing and now suddenly they turn around
- and say something else, I am right in having suspicions. My suspicions may or
- may not be justified, but they are well grounded. Klick here
