| Thousands Gather in Serbia for Karadzic Rally |
| 2008-07-30 |
| Thousands of far-right nationalists gathered in the Serbian capital Tuesday for a rally to protest the arrest and likely extradition of Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader. The far-right Radical Party bused in supporters from across Serbia and Bosnia to show solidarity with Mr. Karadzic, a man charged with engineering Europe's worst massacre since World War II but who is celebrated by his supporters as a hero. "Karadzic is a hero because he defended Serb lives during the terrible wars of the 1990s," said Elena Pavovski, 24, a supporter of the far-right Radical Party. "Everyone knows that the war crimes tribunal in The Hague was designed to try Serbs while the war criminals who killed Serbs are set free." |
