Nick Brovina of Richardson, TX worries that his mother will not survive the

torture and lack of medical attention she has suffered at the hands of the Serb

army. The treatment of humanitarian activist Dr. Flori Brovina is being

protested by the national office of Amnesty International, the Red Cross, and

Pen International (an international writer's organization).

Dr. Flori Brovina was arrested in Kosova two months ago by Serb troops, was held

in prison there and tortured for an extended period. When the peace talks

began, she was transferred to a prison in the Serbian town of Pozharezc. Dr.

Brovina is partially paralyzed and suffers from increasingly poor health as a

result of her treatment. Without medical care it is feared that she will not

survive. Dr. Brovina's case has received intensive coverage in the Serb and

Albanian media, where rumors of a death sentence are circulated.

"My mother is being held because she is a witness to countless incidents of

brutality who will not be afraid to speak the truth to the media and courts of

justice," says her son Nick Brovina. "We are requesting fair treatment for her

according to the rules of the Geneva convention. She needs medicine and access

to a physician, and to be able to communicate with her family."

Dr. Flori Brovina from Pristina, an author of 4 books of poetry and a

pediatrician, was president of the non-political National Women's Organization

of League. She is deeply respected as one of the leading humanitarians in

Kosova. Her group provided humanitarian assistancg in hiding. They also canvassed the villages

near Pristina, offering treatment to the wounded and traumatized. There is no

doubt that her efforts saved countless lives and gave hope to others.
