Bosnians react to former war leader's actions in ICTY court

(29 Nov 2017) Several Bosnian-Muslim men held as prisoners of war during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war said they were shocked by the dramatic halt to Wednesday's hearing at the United Nations war crimes tribunal. The final hearing in the Hague was stopped when former Bosnian Croat military chief, Slobodan Praljak, claimed to have taken poison after his 20-year sentence was upheld by appeals judges. It could not immediately be confirmed whether Praljak had taken poison or not, but several of his former prisoners of war, who were watching the trial from Mostar in Bosnia, said he needs to be brought to justice for his crimes. "He should not have done this. This should be condemned. He should face justice for his acts, the court has ruled and convicted him," said Almir Zalihic, a former prisoner of war. Wednesday's hearing was the final case at the groundbreaking tribunal before it closes its doors next month. The tribunal, which last week convicted former Bosnian Serb military chief General Ratko Mladic of genocide and other crimes, was set up in 1993, while fighting still raged in the former Yugoslavia. It indicted 161 suspects and convicted 90 of them.
