A group of six anarchists arrested under suspicion being connected with
Black Elijah (Crni Ilija), which took responsibility for the 24th
August molotov attack on the Greek embassy in Belgrade.
[libcom.org] The anarchists are members of the Sindikalna konfederacija
Anarho-sindikalistička inicijativa (Union Confederation
Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative) which is affiliated to the
International Workers‘ Association (IWA-AIT). The IWA-AIT Secretariat
has made the following statement:
We are informing you that members of the Union Confederation
“Anarcho-syndicalist initiative”, Ratibor Trivunac (who is currently
delegated to the duty of IWA-AIT General Secretary), Tadej Kurepa and
Ivan Vulovic have been arrested today (September, 3rd) under the
fabricated charges of “causing general public danger”, after they were
forcefully taken in for interrogation by the police. It is yet
unconfirmed if other comrades were arrested.
We are trying to get in contact with their lawyers and to establish
what are the exact charges against them and their legal status. We will
keep you informed of the developments.
The IWA Secretariat can be reached by usual email address and phone number."
IWA-AIT Secretariat,
Belgrade, 3rd September 2009
The media later reported that the arrested are Ratibor Trivunac,

charges. State attorney has asked for them to be charged with the
criminal act of international terrorism (3-15 years of prison).
