27 April Organisers Case Amnesty: PM Says If There’s no Organisers, There cannot Be Terrorists

Commenting on the amnesty of ex-Parliament Speaker Trajko Veljanoski, the former Minister of Labour and Social Policy, Spiro Ristevski, the former Minister of Transport and Communications, Mile Janakieski, and the ex-head of the Security and Counterintelligence Administration, Vladimir Atanasovski, in the trial over the 27 April Organisers case, PM Hristijan Mickoski said on Friday that it was a fact that if there were no organisers, there couldn’t be terrorists (referring to those convicted in the trial over the April 27 2017 storming of Parliament).

Asked whether he perhaps thought there had been pressure on Judge Ilija Trpkov, Mickoski stated that said he didn’t know him, nor had they ever seen each other in person.

“Perhaps that question should be answered by all those who were exerting pressure in order for, through a politically staged process, people to be today serving seven-eight-year sentences terrorism. None of them says they didn’t make a mistake. They did, but they are not terrorists at any rate”, the PM pointed out.
