An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Yugoslavs rallied in Ljubljana, capital of the Slovenia republic, to protest the arrests earlier this month of two journalists and a soldier charged with disclosing military secrets in articles critical of the armed forces. David Tasic, the editor of Mladina, the weekly newspaper of the Slovenian Youth Union, was arrested along with Janez Jansa, a free-lance journalist who wrote several articles criticizing the military, many of which were published in Mladina. Sgt. Maj. Ivan Borstner was the apparent source of the information for the articles.
