UN court rejects Milosevic's bid for provisional release
 AMSTERDAM: The UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague rejected Slobodan Milosevic's request for provisional release from detention in the Netherlands to travel to Russia for medical treatment, the court said on Friday. "The request is denied," the court said in a written decision. "The trial chamber is not satisfied... that the accused, if released, would return for the continuation of the trial." But the court said doctors treating Milosevic for a heart condition and high blood pressure could look after the former Serb president in the Netherlands, where he is on trial for crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes.Posted by: Fred 2006-02-25 |
