  Supporting information about OSI conspiracy, injustice, human rights.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
Andrija Artukovic was extradited to Communist Yugoslavia in 1986 on the basis of false allegations contained in two false affidavits.
Artukovic's son, who had warned OSI in 1985 that they were using false evidence, received documents under the Freedom of Information Act suggesting that OSI possessed and withheld evidence, which contradicted what OSI had presented in court.
Artukovic's son repeatedly complained to the U.S. Attorney that his father had been falsely accused, that the evidence was false, that the crimes never happened, and that OSI possessed and withheld evidence that would have cleared his father of the false claims.

 C. Michael McAdams : Selected Works
Artukovic was the center of much attention during extradition hearings held from 1951 through 1959 on behalf of the Yugoslav government.
A: Artukovic was charged on August 29, 1951, by the Yugoslav Consul General with twenty-two counts of "participation in murder." The Consul stated under oath that Artukovic had been charged with these crimes in a court of law in Yugoslavia and that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
Artukovic was not indicted.(42) Artukovic, like thousands of other Croatians from the Archbishop of Zagreb to local postmasters, was accused of war crimes only by the Tito regime which they had opposed.

Further, in 1956 the INS notified Artukovic of his right to seek a suspension of deportation as authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)18 if he feared "physical persecution" were he to be returned to Yugoslavia.
Artukovic was arrested and held without bond, confined first in the Los Angeles county jail at the medical facility of the U.S.C. hospital and later in Long Beach at the U.S. Naval Hospital.
Artukovic thus argued that the Hocke finding that there was no probable cause and that the charges against him constituted a "political offense" was a final judgment; the Government, therefore, could not again seek his extradition on these charges.

 Jasenovac - Donja Gradina: Industry of Death 1941-45.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
Andrija Artukovic, the highest ranking Nazi criminal to find refuge in the United States, was born in 1899 in Austrian Herzegovina, which after World War I formed part of Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia did attempt to extradite him "for murder and participation in murder" but, as we shall see, Artukovic avoided extradition because the evidence presented by a communist state did not convince an American judge, and the INS did not move to deport him while extradition proceedings were pending.
Further, in 1956 the INS notified Artukovic of his right to seek a suspension of deportation as authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) if he feared "physical persecution" were he to be returned to Yugoslavia.

Artukovic followed the autocade to Kerestinac and as I was his escort I heard when Andrija Artukovic told Lahovski that the back part of the autocade of trucks must be disposed of because it would be too much for the camp.

When Artukovic heard that he ordered that all the population of the nearby villages be arrested and brought into the plain, which was done and many people, women and children were killed.
I was also escorting Pavelic and Artukovic when they were visiting the site of Kozara because they wanted to see the positions at which some 500 to 600 ustashas had died in the battle with partisans.
I know well that the commander of operative groups of ustashas informed Artukovic and Pavelic that partisans were captured at Zumberk and Artukovic together with Pavelic ordered then, they both ordered, that all partisans imprisoned there, be killed which was done during that day and night and I have been present there.

Half-blind, senile, and emaciated from heart disease, Andrija Artukovic seemed oblivious as U.S. marshals bundled him aboard a JAT airlines flight to Yugoslavia last week.
As Interior Minister in the puppet Nazi state of Croatia during World War II, Artukovic was known as the Butcher of the Balkans and held responsible for the murder of as many as 700,000 Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and others.

Through a mystifying pattern of logic, an immigration judge stayed an order of deportation indefinitely, saying that Artukovic would suffer from "physical persecution" should he be deported to stand trial on war crimes charges in Yugoslavia.
The case was reopened more than twenty years later, and Artukovic was finally deported in 1986, primarily due to an outcry by Jewish organizations.
Tried and sentenced to death by firing squad in Yugoslavia, Artukovic (who was by now enfeebled) was in custody of a prison hospital there in 1988 when he died.

In response to the case an aide to Deputy Attorney General Peyton Ford wrote in 1951: "Altho [sic] it appears that deportation proceedings should be instituted, Artukovic and/or his family should not be sent to apparently certain death at the hands of the Yugoslavia Communists.

He was a witness in trials of Dr. Andrija Artukovic [Ustasha Minister of Interior who spent 40 years as a free man in California] and Dr. Alojzije [Aloysius] Stepinac [the head of the Croatian Church during the Ustasha reign of horror, the Ustasha spiritual leader].

As in his July defence, Sakic compared his trial to those the former Yugoslavia held against cardinal Alojzije Stepinac and Andrija Artukovic, NDH's Interior Minister.
The accusations, lacking in written documents, are based on testimonies which former Yugoslav secret services "purposefully" collected after WW2 from former inmates, he said.
