On 18 November 1993 the Special Rapporteur brought to the attention of the Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia information he had received regarding the case of Vuk Draskovic, President of the Serbian Renewal Movement, and his wife Danica Draskovic, reported to have been severely beaten following their arrest by the police in Belgrade on 1 June 1993. A team of professors from Belgrade University Medical Faculty reportedly examined them in the week beginning 14 June and concluded that Vuk Draskovic was suffering from headaches, disrupted balance, amnesia and impaired hearing, all pointing to brain and skull damage, which did not preclude the possibility of further complications. They also concluded that Danica Draskovic had suffered injury to her spine, and that in both cases injuries had been inflicted by repeated powerful action with a blunt mechanical instrument. They were released from custody on 9 July 1993. However, because of their poor medical condition they remained in the neurological clinic in Belgrade. 633. On 14 December 1993 the Government replied that those members of Mr. and Mrs. Draskovic’s family who had visited them had not stated that they had been seriously injured or that they had objections to their medical or any other treatment. 634. On 13 October 1993 the Special Rapporteur sent un urgent appeal concerning Muhamet Hamiti, a writer and professor, who was arrested by the police in Pristina, Kosovo, on 12 October 1993 at around 11 a.m. after leaving a private house where he had been giving a class. In view of reports received indicating that students and teachers of Albanian origin were frequently arrested for short periods of time and subjected to torture or ill-treatment while being interrogated, fears were expressed that Mr. Hamiti might be subjected to this kind of treatment.
