A former Serbian police officer has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the Srebrenica massacre in 1995, after being found guilty by a Bosnian war crimes court.
Judge Jasmina Kosovic said that Bozidar Kuvelja "participated in the expulsion of the Srebrenica population, detention of men and execution of detainees", stating,
"He is found guilty for crimes against humanity and the court sentences him to 20 years imprisonment."
However, Kuvelja was acquitted of charges of genocide with the judge noting the prosecutor had failed to prove that there was intent on the part of the defendant to exterminate an ethnic group.
