	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Goli otok
		Goli otok (literal translation: "barren island") is an island off the northern Adriatic coast, located between Rab's northeastern shore and the mainland, in what is today Republic of Croatia's Primorje-Gorski Kotar county.
		After Tito's regime normalized its relations with the Soviets, Goli Otok prison was passed down into provincial jurisdiction of the Socialist Republic of Croatia (as opposed to the Yugoslav federal authorities).
		As a deserter, he was sentenced to three years prison on the island Goli otok, but as he told the military court they couldn’t hold him for so long as he could survive, they raised his punishment to five and a half years.

	Courrier international, UNE JOURNÉE DANS LE GOULAG DE TITO • Goli Otok, lieu de mémoire
		Goli Otok — c’est-à-dire “l’île nue” — n’a pourtant pas toujours été un havre de paix et de bonheur.
		Jusque-là inhabitée, l’île de Goli Otok a été utilisée pour la première fois comme lieu d’internement lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, quand l’armée austro-hongroise y a amené des prisonniers de guerre russes.
		Goli Otok et son univers concentrationnaire valent le détour, d’autant que l’île est également un haut lieu de la plongée sous-marine, mais ne constituent évidemment pas l’attrait principal de la région.

	Book Review: Goli Otok
		This rare, first-person account of physical and mental torture in the prison on Goli Otok should be read as widely as possible, because it tells the truth about inhumane conduct in peacetime. Josip Zoretić is painfully honest and naming names to bring offenders to justice.
		Goli Otok is near Rab and the island of Grgur, which was a prison for women.
		A place of pain, barbarity and execution, Goli Otok was a top secret jail where Tito's Yugoslav communist regime detained over 30,000 political prisoners knowing that they were sure to crumble under the conditions.

		All the survivors of Goli Otok (the island had a camp for men as well) agree that under prolonged conditions of torture, they would do anything, say anything, write anything and sign anything that was demanded of them in the hope of being released.
		Their accounts of detention are horrifyingly similar to the conditions in Goli Otok.
		In both cases, the denial of a trial, and a specified date of release added to the physical torture the three endured.

	Goli Otok - Hell in the Adriatic
		It is a rare detailed description of the evil and horrors that happened on Goli Otok.
		The man was Josip Zoretic and the setting is Goli Otok, the "Naked Island" prison camp in the Adriatic Sea.
		Although Goli Otok is a memoir, it is written so vividly, with a lot of dialogue, that it reads like a novel, a grim political satire with humor, wit, and insightful historical asides.

	(E) Protest raised against Croatian gulag tourism idea, November 22, 2004
		A study recently ordered by the government envisaged "hard-labour holidays" on Goli Otok, a rocky and inhospitable island that was virtually abandoned following the dismantlement of a detention camp there as the Yugoslav federation crumbled in the late 1980s.
		The aim would be for guests to survive long enough to receive a certificate at the end of the 'holiday' proving they had done their time.
		Former detainees of Goli Otok have welcomed the idea, some even offering their services as guides, according to the study's author, Josip Modric.
