Croatian Forces Abduct Four Liberlanders After Bold River Landing | Liberland Press

"Liberty Island, Liberland — At 19:00 local time [June 14, 2015], three Liberland Settlement Association (LSA) vessels, in a joint maneuver, evaded Croatian patrol boats in international waters on the Danube river. Three women and one man, all Liberland citizens, successfully reached Liberty Island, a river island and part of the Liberland jurisdiction. . . . Shortly thereafter, Croatian forces, flouting international law and disregarding basic human rights, invaded Liberland and abducted the landing party. These four Liberlanders were forcibly transferred to Croatian territory, were deprived of their possessions and their liberty and are now being held in a Croatian prison. None of the four Liberland citizens ventured near Croatia, and it is not yet clear which crime the Croatian authorities imagine they may have committed. The LSA is gravely concerned about their well-being, citing the appalling conditions under which previous Liberlander prisoners were held."
