                                REPORT NO.446
 
ON THE WIDESPREAD REPRESSION AND HARASSMENT PERPETRATED BY THE SERBIAN POLICE AND OTHER AUTHORITIES IN KOSOVA FROM NOVEMBER 15 UNTIL NOVEMBER 22, 1998
 
The corpses of those who were killed and mutilated during the offensives of the Serbian police, military and paramilitary forces in Kosova, are still being found. Despite of the agreement for the withdrawal of the Serb forces from Kosova, fresh forces are being brought. The repositioning of the Serbian forces is accompanied with the provocation of the Albanians who have returned or are trying to return to their houses. This is done in order to impede the return of the displaced people and to incite their expulsion from Kosova.
The situation of those who are still in the open and those who have returned to their burned, looted and destroyed houses, continues to be very grave. The data presented in this report is incomplete, despite of all the attempts of our field associates to monitor the situation.
