| Bosnian commander acquitted of war crimes in Srebrenica |
| 2018-12-01 |
| [Al Jazeera] Former Bosnian military commander Naser Oric, hailed by his supporters as the heroic "defender of Srebrenica", has been acquitted by an appeals chamber of Bosnia's war crimes court. Oric was acquitted on Friday of human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedomat the convenience of the state... violations and the killings of three Serb prisoners of war in and around Srebrenica during the war in Bosnia between 1992-1995. Oric, regarded as a hero by Bosnian Moslems (Bosniaks), led the defence of Srebrenica, a besieged town that eventually fell to Bosnian Serb forces in 1995, who then systematically killed more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys in Europe's worst atrocity since World War II. The revised verdict was delivered after the court in June revoked its previous ruling, clearing Oric and fellow soldier Sabahudin Muhic of guilt, and ordered a new trial after the prosecutor complained of criminal procedures violations. |
