FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia began the trial of the 70-year-old war criminal on Wednesday, a year after his arrest in Serbia after 16 years on the run.
“I don’t have to tell you how important it is that finally this trial can start 17 years after the first indictment was issued (against Mladic),” the court’s Belgian chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz said before the trial.
Mladic, also called as the “Butcher of Bosnia,” has been accused of masterminding atrocities during the country’s devastating war that killed 100,000 and left 2.2 million people homeless.
His atrocities began with a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing in 1992 and peaked in 1995 with the worst massacre in Europe since World War II, when around 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered in Srebrenica.
He has also been accused of fatal campaign of sniping and shelling during the 44-month siege of Sarajevo.
During his pre-trial hearings last June, Mladic burst into anger and heckled the judge and interrupted proceedings. He refused to enter a plea and rejected the 11 charges against him as “monstrous” and “obnoxious.”
“The whole world knows who I am. I am General Ratko Mladic. I defended my people, my country… now I am defending myself,” he said at a hearing last year.
The survivors of the Bosnian war fear Mladic could die and escape judgment as he suffered at least one stroke while in hiding and has been in ill health.
The Balkan wars mastermind, former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, died in prison in 2006, before receiving a verdict.
