Sentence

I am removing the non-true sentence that "Typically few ethnic Serbs were imprisoned for advocating nationalism, and their sentences were the lightest. The most severe sentences were often handed down to Albanians and Bosniaks."

Here are some examples:

Inmates of the infamous Goli otok prison were mostly Serbs and Serbs from Montenegro (possibly up to 90%). Some inmates were Dragoljub Mićunović, Borislav Pekić, Borislav Mihajlović Mihiz...

During 1960-s and 1970-s, most of highest political persons of Serbian nationality were removed from power and/or killed (Slobodan Penezić Krcun, Aleksandar Ranković), mostly without trials.

Removals of the professors of the Belgrade faculty of Philosophy because of "left or right aberrations" (most of them went on trials on several occasions).

Removals of the professors of the Belgrade Law faculty. Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Mihailo Đurić. Vojislav Koštunica, Danilo Basta, and as "greater-Serbian showinist", professor Andrija Gams.

In th period of the "soft" communism/socialism - among others Vojislav Šešelj, went on trial several times, sentenced on 8 years. He spent few years in prison with Alija Izetbegović. (Sentence: breaking of the Brotherhood and unity).

If needed, there are more examples. -- Obradović Goran (ta^lk 13:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anecdotal evidence is pretty useless for the purpose of proving or disproving any statement similar to one you removed. While I would tend to agree with the statement, it clearly violates Wikipedia principle of avoiding weasel words, so I also agree with you for removing it (as I am not aware of any trustworthy statistics on the matter). However, a point or two:

Goli otok was mostly populated with opponents of Tito's split with Stalin in 1948 (see Informbiro). While the inmates might have been predominantly Serbs, your figure of 90% seems excessive.

Many of Serbian intellectuals you mention (and Croatian and others you don't) were prosecuted for "liberal" (that is, advocating human rights, multi-party democracy etc), not "nationalist" "deviations". Others, like Ranković, were victims of simple power struggle within Tito's regime.

No episode of repression of national emancipation movement in SFRJ matches that of the aftermath of Croatian spring.

Muslims by Nationality

I replaced this term with Bosnian. While the official policies of the SFRJ used this term, the Bosnians today prefer to be called as Bosnians and many of them did back then. It could go either way so if anyone else has any interest in this feel free to respond and revert if you think you have a good case for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.19.47 (talk) 14:09, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
