In his essay, “Report on Yugoslavia, ” Butler wrote that the Witnesses, who“ reject [ed] all the sophistries by which war is justified by leaders in political and religious life, ” were put on trial by the Yugoslav authorities for their refusal to join the war movement.
Oma essees „Raport Jugoslaavia kohta ” („ Report on Yugoslavia ”) kirjutas Butler, et tunnistajad, kes „eira [sid] kõiki targutusi, millega poliitilised ja religioossed juhid sõda õigustavad ”, kaevati Jugoslaavia võimude poolt kohtusse, kuna nad keeldusid sõjas osalemast.
