• Held without charge in the maximum security Parklea prison in Sydney for almost four years, he is the only and the first 21st Century POLITICAL PRISONER in Australia.

• His incarceration followed a defamatory article in The Australian, a Nationwide News Ltd (Australian daily), accusing him of maltreating Croatian prisoners-of-war and civilians whilst soldiering in the Balkans in the early 1990s in the former Serbian Krajina.

• His mission there was establishing paramilitary training camps to enable local Serb civilians to defend themselves from the attacks of the Croatian military.

• A stickler for military discipline and correct military engagement he brought with him as a former trained officer in the Australian Army, his success was phenomenal and he soon become a celebrity and a national hero.

• Later he went on to Belgrade, the capital of the then Republic of Serbia and Montenegro and established an equally successful humanitarian centre – the Captain Dragan Foundation for war orphans, war veterans and refugee Serbs who escaped ethnic cleansing in Croatia.

• Witness for the prosecution of the former President of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, at the International Court for War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia in the Hague – Daniel Snedden was of no interest to the Court.

• Safely back in Australia he conducted a School of Golf in Perth – only to be “discovered” late 2005 by The Australian, which branded him “a war criminal” and purported to have evidence to prove that.

• Daniel Snedden then initiated defamation proceedings against Nationwide News Ltd and was taken into custody soon afterwards.

• The Croatian Government asked the Australian Government for his extradition “for consultancy purposes” ostensibly to establish his guilt or innocence.

• Almost four years have elapsed and Daniel Snedden is still incarcerated without a charge for any wrong doing.

The Australian Government is urged immediately to lay charges against Daniel Snedden if he is guilty – otherwise free an innocent man who is considered by many as a hero and a martyr for the cause of the under privileged and war oppressed.
