Karadzic says in pretrial brief he is not guilty
Released : Tuesday, June 30, 2009 4:48 AM
THE HAGUE, Netherlands-Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has filed
a pretrial brief at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal saying he is not guilty
of all 11 charges filed against him.
At previous hearings, Karadzic refused to enter pleas to the charges which
include genocide, extermination and persecution.
No date has yet been set for his trial, but the court's president recently
told the Security Council it will begin in late August.
Prosecutors accuse the 64-year-old Karadzic of masterminding atrocities by
Serb forces throughout Bosnia's 1992-95 war, including the deadly siege of
the capital Sarajevo and the July 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men in
the Srebrenica enclave.
In the brief released Tuesday, Karadzic says he is confident the court will
acquit him.
