Balkanblog | July 29, 2008 - 22:34 | 3 years ago

Bosnia's war crimes court sentenced seven Serbs to jail terms between 38 and 42 years after finding them guilty of genocide during the Srebrenica massacre in July, 1995.

Six of them were convicted of direct participation in the murder of more than 1,000 Muslims in a single day in Kravice. Four others were acquitted.

Those found guilty include Milos Stupar, the wartime commander of a Bosnian Serb special police squad. He was found guilty for not preventing murders and punishing the perpetrators.

The trial chamber was composed of judges from Bosnia, the Netherlands and the US.
