Rasim Delic sentenced to 3 years’ imprisonment September 15, 2008 The Hague Tribunal has sentenced today former Commander of the B-H Army Rasim Delic to three years’ imprisonment for crimes of mujahideens against the Serbs in Central Bosnia in 1995. Delic was found guilty by a majority verdict for violation of laws and customs of war, since in July, August and September 1995 he did not prevent cruel treatment of the El Mujahideen Unit against the captured Serbs. According to the verdict, Delic had an effective control over the unit. At the same time, Delic was acquitted for multiple murders of the captured Serbs and Croats at several locations in Central Bosnia from 1993 till 1995. The trial proceeding against Delic commenced in July last year and ended in June this year. Delic voluntarily surrendered to The Hague in February 2005 and was soon temporarily released until the trial commencement. He spent 448 days in detention which will be included in the sentence. ------- Kavran: Delic’s verdict first to be studied, then decision on appeal September 15, 2008 Spokesperson of the Hague Tribunal Prosecution Olga Kavran stated that in regard to a potential appeal on verdict of former B-H Army Commander Rasim Delic, the Prosecution will decided after it studies the verdict, according to which he was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. The Hague Tribunal Prosecution requested 15 years’ imprisonment for Delic. ---------------- Dodik: Justice unreachable for Serb victims before Hague Tribunal September 15, 2008 RS PM Milorad Dodik assessed that with its verdict to B-H Army Commander general Rasim Delic, Hague Tribunal once again showed that justice is unreachable for Serb victims from the civil war in B-H before this court. Delic’s verdict destroyed even the minimum of our trust in the justice of the Tribunal, which practically lost all legitimacy, reads the communiqué regarding the fact that Delic was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment in the Hague. Dodik reminded of the pictures of the decapitated Serbs that the whole world saw, and called upon international public to ask the Hague Tribunal judges whether three years in prison is sufficient punishment for horrible sights of mujahideens’ atrocities committed in the zone where the B-H was responsible under the command of Delic.
