Hague fixes Karadzic trial date - war crimes and crimes against humanity. immunity appeal rejected
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 06:08 AM by demoleft
"Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic will go on trial at The Hague on Monday 26 October, the court says.
...
Mr Karadzic is charged with 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including genocide, dating back to the Bosnian war.

They include charges related to the 1995 massacre of about 8,000 men and boys at Srebrenica.
...
The court has rejected Mr Karadzic's appeal that the case be dropped on the grounds that he was offered immunity from prosecution by former US mediator Richard Holbrooke in 1996 if he left public life."


holbrook denied that claim anyway, reports bbc.

the man (?) has much to answer for. time to close this shameful chapter of blood - the hardest one in the core of europe after the 2nd world war.
i'm waiting to see if someone has the guts to go rallying on the street on his (and his tigers') behalf.
