Former Bosnian Serb Commander Mladic Falls and Hits Head in Prison
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic, 82,fell in a prison in The Hague and hit his head, General Darko's son reported on August 16. In an interview with Vecherne Novosti, he said the incident happened last week. Darko Mladic, who regularly visits his father in prison, came to The Hague, but the prison administration said his father was in hospital. "We were told that he had lost consciousness while standing, had fallen and hit his head hard. Then I believe they picked him up. We were told that there would be no visit to the prison, so we went to the city hospital to see him," Darko Mladic said. The general, according to him, was conscious during the visit to the hospital, but could not remember how exactly he fell. Ratko Mladic stayed in the hospital for two days, after which he was sent back to prison. Darko Mladic also said that doctors at The Hague prison were not providing his father with enough care. Doctors deny that their mistakes were the reason General Mladic was hospitalized with kidney failure in April, but the facts show exactly that, his son said. As reported by the Regnum news agency, in June 2021, the court sentenced General Mladic to life imprisonment, finding him guilty of war crimes, including the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. Mladic has been in prison since 2011. Darko Mladic had previously reported that his father's health had deteriorated significantly. General Mladic was very weak and had difficulty moving, his son noted.
