KOSOVO CONFLICT : MORE DETAINEES LOCATED... MORE FAMILY LINKS RE-ESTABLISHED !

The ICRC has received from the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Serbia the names and location of a total of 2,095 persons held in places of detention in Serbia in relation to the conflict in Kosovo. This includes 166 persons who were released on 25 June and returned to their homes in Kosovo under the auspices of the ICRC

These notifications, which are a major contribution towards alleviating the anguish of families seeking to establish the whereabouts of a missing relative, have been provided to the ICRC following several meetings with the Ministry of Justice. Based on the information received, the delegates of the ICRC has already visited 331 detainees held in different parts of Serbia.

In the meantime, the ICRC has enabled more than 300 families in Kosovo to contact their loved ones. Those contacts are possible through the free disposal of satellite mobile phones, giving the people the chance to contact relatives, who are abroad or in other parts of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. For the moment, the phones are being taken all over the province's territory to reach as many people as possible. "The chance to make a phone call meets a very human need to let your loved ones know you are safe" says Edith Baeriswyl, head of the sub-delegation in Kosovo.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION: ICRC DELEGATE RELEASED

The International Committee of the Red Cross is very pleased to announce the release on 20 July 1999 of its delegate Geraldo Cruz Ribeiro, a New Zealander who had been detained in the northern Caucasus region since 15 May this year.

Mr Cruz Ribeiro arrived at Moscow Tchkalovski military airport at 12:30 p.m. local time and was handed over to the ICRC by the Interior Ministry of the Russian Federation. He appeared to be in good health.

The delegate was carrying out his duties when he was abducted in Nalchik, capital of the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria. A local employee who was seized at the same time was freed within hours.

SOME GOOD TIMES FOR IDP KIDS

A summer IDP camp has been set up to create an oasis of happiness for 40 children living in southern camps in Sabirabad. A similar camp was held last year. Those children aged from 10 to 14 are making the most of the sea, cultural activities and lectures about the International Movement of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in the Sanatorium of Zagoulba. "Children are always the most vulnerable in conflict situations. It's very important to give them the opportunity to realize and live their childhood like other children. In Zagoulba, they will have the chance to play with other kids spending their holidays there" underlines Philippe Golay, dissemination delegate in Baku. This camp is organized in the framework of the "Migration" programme of the National Society of the Azeri Red Crescent and is financed by the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the ICRC.
