Protected Hague Prosecution witness, who testified under the pseudonym of RM-325, began testifying at a closed session on Tuesday, May 14.

Closed sessions represent the highest level of witness identity protection in the Hague Tribunal’s practice.

The presentation of evidence related to the allegation that the Republika Srpska Army, which was commanded by Mladic, committed genocide against about 7,000 Bosniaks from Srebrenica in July 1995, is currently underway. Besides that, Mladic is charged with persecuting Bosniaks and Croats throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, which reached the scale of genocide in seven municipalities, terrorizing civilians in Sarajevo by conducting an artillery and sniper campaign and taking United Nations’ “blue helmets” hostage.

Prosecutor Peter McCloskey announced that the presentation of evidence would continue on Thursday, May 16, when two women, who survived the crime in Srebrenica, would testify.
