On the recordJuly 11, 1995
I was recently in Kosova. It is an unbelievable situation. There are 60,000 paramilitary people, military officers, policemen, who are controlling 2 million Albanian Kosovans. They are controlling them in the most brutal way possible, with constant murders, beatings, rapes, wholesale thefts of property. In fact, when President Milosevic of Serbia, who represents only 5 percent of the population, forced the withdrawal of the CSCE human rights monitors in July 1993, the incidents of beatings, rapes, and murders has gone up by 85 percent. We went to the office that documented all of these atrocious, indescribable, brutal acts, and, you know, the police had just been there, had beaten up the staff, had stolen all the documentation. The lawyer who attempted to intervene to complain, he was visited at his apartment and bludgeoned on the head for it. This has to change. I support the amendment very strongly.
