Rózsa-Flores is also being claimed as a "National Anarchist matryr" by the Bay Area National Anarchists:

Here's a reminder of what "serving with distinction in the Croatian special forces" actually involved (from post #81 above):
Quote:State agents of Bolivia shot and killed National Anarchist Eduardo Rózsa-Flores on April 19th. Eduardo was a Hungarian national that wrote the Nemzeti Anarchizmus! blog. During a distinguished life he was a soldier, journalist, actor, and poet. During the Yugoslav war he served with distinction in the Croatian special forces retiring with a rank of colonel in 1993. Much mystery surrounds the death of Eduardo. He was apparently killed by State agents while attempting to organize a militia to defend the interests of the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz, in response to government abuses. We at the BANA network hail and salute the life's work of a comrade and champion of freedom.

Here's a reminder of what "serving with distinction in the Croatian special forces" actually involved (from post #81 above):
Quote:"(Rosza Flores) becoming commander of a brigade of 380 foreigners, the First International Platoon, known by its Croatian initials, PIV.
"He was an action-chaser," a Croatian journalist with years investigating connections between foreign mercenaries and Croatian secret services tells TIME. "PIV was a notorious group: 95% of them had criminal histories, many were part of Nazi and fascist groups, from Germany to Ireland." Rozsa rose to the status of Major and gained a reputation for brashness — before scandal hit in December of 1991. That's when a PIV enlistee named Christian Wurtemburg, a Swiss national, turned up dead — tortured and garroted. British journalist Paul Jenks began investigating Wurtemburg's death and was shot dead as well. (British journalist John Sweeney made a movie about the deaths in 1994 for Channel 4 called Dying for the Truth.)
"Many here firmly believe that Rozsa was responsible for these deaths," the Croatian journalist tells TIME, explaining that Rozsa had accused Wurtemburg of being a spy and ordered him to be punished. He did not like anyone sniffing around the incident and probably had a hand in Jenks' shooting. Still, Rozsa was never officially charged for the acts, and soon after he left Croatia.
