The Trial of Draža Mihailović ''et al.'', or the Belgrade Process, was the trial of Draža Mihailović and a number of other prominent alleged collaborators for high treason and war crimes in 1946. Mihailović was tried as a leader of the Chetnik movement during World War II (the "Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland", JVUO). His co-defendants were other prominent figures of the movement and members of the Yugoslav government-in-exile, such as Slobodan Jovanović, but also members of ZBOR and of the Nedić regime like Velibor Jonić.〔Jean-Christophe Buisson, ''Le Général Mihailovic : héros trahi par les Alliés 1893-1946'', Perrin, Paris, 1999, page 262〕 The trial opened on June 10, 1946, before the Military Council of the Supreme Court of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia, and lasted until July 15, 1946. The court was located in the Summer Hall of the Infantry Training School at Topčider in Belgrade. Trial opened in the presence of about 60 foreign journalists.〔(Basil Davidson: PARTISAN PICTURE )〕 ==Indictment== The accused were tried before a military court. The President of the council was Mihailo Đordević and the members Milija Laković and Mihailo Janković, with Todor Popadić as secretary. The assistant judges were Nikola Stanković and Radomir Ilić. The prosecutor was Miloš Minić, a high-ranking government official who took part in Tito-Mihailović negotiations in 1941. The assistant prosecutor was Miloš Jovanović. Mihailović and others were tried mainly for their activities against Allied forces, the Yugoslav Partisans, for collaboration with the Germans and for war crimes against civilians. Mihailović was indicted on 47 counts. He was found guilty of all with overwhelming evidence.〔The trial of Dragoljub-Draža Mihailović stenographic record and documents from the trial of Dragoljub-Draža Mihailović.〕 The Allied airmen he had rescued in 1944 were not allowed to testify in his favor. Only two women came to testify in favor of Mihailović. Reportedly, they were heckled by the audience and, after the trial, submitted to a professional interdiction.〔Jean-Christophe Buisson, ''Le Général Mihailovic : héros trahi par les Alliés 1893-1946'', Perrin, Paris, 1999, pp 260-263〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trial of Mihailović et al.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
