Dear friends,

we are aware that everyone is preoccupied with the shocking loss of life in
the US from terrorist actions.
This week we have all had a horrific reminder of the urgency of preserving
human freedom from brutal and unlawful acts. Nevertheless, ordinary life
must move on, even as we try to understand what happened and to think of
the most non-violent way to respond.

Last week Serb and Kosovar officials FINALY signed a transfer agreement
that guarantees the transfer of the remaining 222 Albanian prisoners, both
criminal and political, to the jurisdiction of UNMIK in Kosova. A new
branch of UNMIK-- The Judicial International Administration--will oversee
the transfer. This coming week a team of officials from Kosova will go to
Belgrade and the Serb prisons to review all the cases.
It is hoped that the transfer of the political prisoners can take place in
late October.

While this news may sound positive to outsiders, anxious families in Kosova
become increasingly fearful at a time like this that somehow even this
joint effort will fail and their loved ones will not be released.

Therefore, we urge you to continue your pressure on leaders everywhere to
follow through and make sure these people are finally allowed to return
home.
Although this will not solve the problems of world-wide lawless brutality,
the transfer of prisoners to Kosova does move us all forward a little
closer to real justice for all.

and start again with email-sending.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIRELESS EFFORTS IN KEEPING THE ALBANIAN PRISONER
ISSUE IN THE FOREFRONT OF INTERNATIONAL POLICY. WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE
LAST ONE RETURNS TO KOSOVA.

Regards
