Thirty members of the centre-right Autochthonous Croatian Party of Rights (A-HSP) went to the Jasenovac concentration camp established by the authorities of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during World War II, where they were met by the police.
Immediately after passing the toll booths towards Jasenovac, the police stopped the bus with 30 members of the A-HSP and prevented them from passing through the Memorial Area.
After this, the A-HSP members set up crosses and lit lanterns and candles along the road. According to A-HSP, candles were lit for all the 1941 camp victims and the victims of the camp they say existed since 1945, N1’s Antonio Zavada reports.
The A-HSP Leader Drazen Keleminec, sought an explanation from the police who warned him to lower his voice, because he was on the verge of insulting the officers, however they did not arrest him and explained to him that under the Law on Police Affairs, they were not allowed to enter the camp because of the suspicion on possible perpetration of a criminal offense of a misdemeanour.
