§ 19. Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has yet received notification from the Yugoslav Government of the date on which three of the six Yugoslays forcibly repatriated to Yugoslavia for trial as war criminals from the British zone of Germany on 2nd August, 1948, were executed; and whether he has any information as to the fate of the other three.
§ Mr. BevinThe Yugoslav Government have now informed His Majesty's Embassy in Belgrade that four of the six men have been executed, and that the fifth man has been sentenced to death but that his sentence has not yet been confirmed or carried out, and that the case of the sixth man, who is in prison, is still under investigation.
§ Mr. StokesCan my right hon. Friend answer the question which his Under-Secretary promised he would answer before—that is, the date on which the first three of this group were executed, how soon they were executed after being handed over, and whether they stood any trial at all?
