TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1045 IN_TIME: 18:53:53 LENGTH: 02:03 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Voice and effects XFA Prosecutors from seven countries compared evidence on Nazi war crimes in Latvia, particularly the Rumbula killing field, at an official meeting in the capital Riga. The main targets of the conference are 86-year-old Konrads Kalejs and 87-year-old Karlis Ozols, who are both currently living in Australia. Representatives from Britain, Canada, Germany, Israel, Russia, Australia and the U-S discussed the investigation into the suspected World War Two criminals. If Kalejs or Ozols were indicted, extradited and put on trial, it would be the first time an alleged Nazi would face a Latvian court on genocide charges since the Baltic state regained independence. VOICE OVER: 0002 Most passers-by would hardly recognize this as the site of one of the worst atrocities of the Nazi era. In just two days in 1941, some 25-thousand Jews were put to death here, on the outskirts of Latvia's capital Riga. During the 1941-1944 Nazi occupation , ninety per cent of Latvia's 90-thousand Jews perished. 0022 On November 30th 1941 the Nazis, swept into the Jewish ghetto, roused men, women and children, and forced them onto the cobblestone streets. The victims, walked through the ghetto's barbed wire gates to Rumbula, 6 miles away. Stripped naked, they were beaten one by one. 0038 Then each was shot in the back of the head. German S-S officers boasted they'd used 25-thousand bullets at Rumbula - this was one bullet per murder 0048 59 years after, the hunt for Nazi killers is still on. 0052 At the meeting on Friday between prosecutors from seven countries, attention was focused on the Rumbula killing field. The main targets of the conference were Konrads Kalejs and Karlis Ozols. Both were allegedly officers in a Nazi death squad involved in various massacres, including those at Rumbula. One purpose of the conference was to scrutinize the strength of Latvia's evidence against Kalejs and determine if it met international legal standards. 0117 But Jewish groups say Latvia has not done enough to confront this period of its history. Their demand is straightforward - Kalejs and others should be tried in court, legal technicalities or not. 0129 SOUNDBITE: (English) "We don't forget, we don't forgive. And it is good that now we speak about Kalejs and people of this kind. I cannot call them people because in my vision they are not people - they're animals." SUPER CAPTION: Carmela Skorik 0151 Prosecutors signaled earlier this year that they were close to indicting Kalejs, based on the evidence that he served as a Nazi guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near Riga.

LATVIA: NAZI WAR CRIMES IN LATVIA
TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1043 IN_TIME: 09:30:05 // 12:23:44 - 15:18:03 LENGTH: 03:14 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat XFA Prosecutors from seven countries compared evidence on Nazi war crimes in Latvia, particularly the Rumbula killing field, at an official meeting in the capital Riga. The main targets of the conference are 86-year-old Konrads Kalejs and 87-year-old Karlis Ozols, who are both currently living in Australia. Representatives from Britain, Canada, Germany, Israel, Russia, Australia and the U-S discussed the investigation into the suspected World War Two criminals. The old pine forest is now circled by car dealerships and littered with abandoned tires and scrap metal. Most passers-by would hardly recognize it as site of one of the worst atrocities of the Nazi era. In just two days in 1941 some 25-thousand Jews were put to death here, on the outskirts of Latvia's capital Riga, just off a busy four-lane highway to Moscow. During the 1941-1944 Nazi occupation, 90 per cent of Latvia's 90-thousand Jews perished. The Rumbula massacres stood out in their gruesome assembly line efficiency. On November 30 1941 the Nazis, including Germans and Latvians, swept into the Jewish ghetto, roused men, women and children, and forced them onto the cobblestone streets. To lull people into cooperating in their own death march, they were told they were being sent to a new camp and to pack a suitcase, according to the director of Riga's Jewish museum. The victims, many who were aware they were doomed, walked through the ghetto's barbed wire gates to Rumbula, 6 miles away. Stripped naked, they were beaten and kicked through a gauntlet, one by one, to the pits. Then each was shot in the back of the head. German SS officers bragged they'd used 25-thousand bullets at Rumbula. This was a bullet per murder, according to the Latvian-American historian Andrew Ezergailis, the leading expert on Nazi atrocities in Latvia. 59 years after, the hunt for Nazi killers is still on. At the meeting on Friday between prosecutors from seven countries, who were invited by Latvia to compare evidence on war crimes, attention was focused on the Rumbula killing field. The main targets of the conference are Konrads Kalejs and Karlis Ozols. Both reportedly were officers in the Arajs Kommando, a Nazi death squad staffed mostly by Latvians and involved in various massacres, including those at Rumbula. Kalejs and Ozols now live in Australia and have denied involvement. Latvian prosecutors have been preparing war crimes charges against Kalejs based on evidence he served as a guard at a Nazi concentration camp at Salaspils, a few miles from Rumbula. SOUNDBITE: (Latvian) "The conference itself can not influence the juridical status of Konrads Kalejs. His status will change only when he is charged. As of now, he's not charged. We asked our colleagues to provide some additional evidence on the case." SUPER CAPTION: Janis Maizitis, Prosecutor General of Latvia One purpose of the conference was to scrutinize the strength of Latvia's evidence against Kalejs and determine if it met international legal standards. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I'm just pleased to be here and impressed with the amount of work that the Latvian government has been doing on these matters and on behalf of Canada we are willing to offer complete cooperation with any materials that we can provide and so on." SUPER CAPTION: Max Walpert, Department of Justice of Canada If Kalejs or Ozols were indicted, extradited and put on trial, it would be the first time an alleged Nazi would face a Latvian court on genocide charges since the Baltic state regained independence. Jewish groups say Latvia did not do enough to honestly confront this period of its history. They demand is straightforward - Kalejs and others should be tried in court, legal technicalities or not. SOUNDBITE: (English) "We don't forget, we don't forgive. And it is good that now we speak about Kalejs and people of this kind. I can not call them people because in my mind they are not people - they're animals. If we speak about it and this person now does not feel comfortable - it is good." SUPER CAPTION: Carmela Skorik Prosecutors signaled earlier this year that they were close to indicting Kalejs based on the evidence that he served as a Nazi guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near Riga. But they later said they needed to investigate the matter further. SHOTLIST: Rumbula/Riga, Latvia - September 15, 2000 - APTN Rumbula, Latvia 1. Mid shot of sign for Rumbula car market 2.

The exact cause of death was not immediately released. Had he been extradited, Kalejs would have been the first suspected Nazi collaborator tried in Latvia since the country regained independence after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. He was accused of being a guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near the Latvian capital, Riga, where Jews and Russian prisoners of war were executed, tortured or died of malnutrition. Kalejs denied the allegations. Jewish and human rights groups also say Kalejs was an officer in the Arajs Kommando, a Nazi-sponsored death squad responsible for the murder of some 30-thousand Latvian Jews. He last appeared in court on October 23, when he was wheeled in on a hospital trolley as his lawyers asked a judge to refuse Latvia's extradition request on technical grounds after a magistrate ordered in May this year that he be extradited. Repeated pleas by his lawyers to halt the extradition proceedings because of Kalejs' frail health were rejected at earlier hearings. Kalejs migrated to Australia in 1950 and took citizenship. He would have become the first Australian citizen extradited to face war crimes charges. Australian authorities said there was insufficient evidence against him to put him on trial in Australia, and Latvia only charged him under mounting international pressure. Details of Kalejs' funeral and surviving family members were not immediately available. Kalejs has a history of being hounded out of country after country for alleged war crimes. He had gone to Canada on a visitor's visa in 1994 after being deported from the United States, where he had lived for more than three decades, after being accused of being a war criminal. He was then ordered to leave Canada three years later in August 1997, accused by the Canadian government of war crimes, and headed back to Australia. He also lived in a retirement home in England for six months before Nazi hunters tracked him down and he returned once more to Australia in January 2000. Then in September 2000, prosecutors from seven countries met in the Latvian capital, Riga, to compare evidence on Nazi war crimes in Latvia, in particular the infamous killing fields of Rumbula, six miles (nine kilometres) outside Riga. Here in the space of just two days in 1941, some 25-thousand Latvian Jews were put to death in a pine forest. The site is now marked by a memorial to the victims. Kalejs and another man, 87-year-old Karlis Ozols, were the main focus of the investigation in various massacres, including Rumbula, and extradition procedures were begun against both men.

LATVIA: ARREST WARRANT ISSUED FOR KONRADS KALEJS (V)
TAPE_NUMBER: EF00/1234 IN_TIME: 20:49:01 LENGTH: 01:29 SOURCES: All APTN except shot 0000 = CBC, 0057-0101 = SBS RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Voice and effects XFA VOICED BY: VERA FRANKL A court in Latvia has upheld an earlier ruling to issue an arrest warrant for alleged Nazi war criminal Konrads Kalejs, clearing the way for prosecutors to seek his extradition from Australia. Judges rejected an appeal by Kalejs' lawyers, reaffirming a lower court ruling that said the warrant was justified given the gravity of Kalejs' alleged crimes. According to Latvian law, the decision is final and cannot be overturned. 0002 Konrad Kalejs was deported from Canada in the nineties for lying about his Nazi past. He returned to his adopted country, Australia, in January this year after Nazi hunters found him in a retirement home in England. 0015 Prosecutors in Latvia recently charged the 87-year-old with genocide. He allegedly participated in the mass murder of Latvian Jews during the 1941 to 44 Nazi occupation . 0026 Following Friday's court decision, extradition proceedings for Kalejs will go ahead, despite the fact that his lawyers say he is too old and sick to travel. 0036 Prosecutors formally accused Kalejs last month of being a Nazi guard at the Salaspils concentration camp near the capital Riga. Here, scores of Jews and Russian prisoners of war were executed, tortured or died of malnutrition. Some 80-thousand Latvian Jews were killed during the Nazi occupation. Kalejs vehemently denies the accusations 0058 SOUNDBITE: (Latvian) "Never! Never! UPSOUND 0101 My background is as an army officer he says. There was a strict selection process and not everyone could be an officer. And that is why I am proud. And I have never participated in anything like this never never. 0117 Latvia and Australia signed an extradition treaty earlier this year. Australia has said it will co-operate, but that it cannot act until it receives a formal request from Latvia.
