Bosnia’s war crimes court sentenced a former Bosnian Serb police chief, Goran Saric, to 14 years in prison for his role in the killing of Muslim civilians during the 1992=-1995 conflict in Sarajevo, today.
Saric was convicted of ordering the arrest of 100 Muslims, eight of which were executed.
The Bosnian war crimes court was set up in 2005 to assist with reducing the case load on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
