Ratko Mladić to spend life in prison

The former leader of the Bosnian Serb army will serve the rest of his life in prison as his appeal against genocide and crimes against humanity was rejected. at the Hague.

Mladić was part of the criminal government that aimed to wipe out all Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica. 8000 people were killed in Europe’s first genocide since the second world war. The massacre followed the break up of Yugoslavia.

The justice for the family of the victims was somewhat marred by the dissenting opinions of Judge Prisca Matimba Nyambe who disagreed with almost every one of the courts rulings and accepted Mladic’s account of the events.
