Mladic: Examination of Protected Witness Continues

15. November 2012.00:00
The trial of Ratko Mladic, former Commander of the Republika Srpska Army, who is charged with genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, continues before the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague behind closed doors.

Protected witness RM-511 continued testifying today. Closed sessions represent the highest level of witness identity protection.

Unlike most of the previous witnesses, whose earlier statements were introduced as evidence against Mladic in written form, RM-511 testified “live”.

The prosecutors previously requested the Court to let them have three hours to directly examine the witness, while the Defence of Mladic said that it would cross-examine him for five hours.

Mladic is charged with genocide in Srebrenica and seven other municipalities, persecution of the Bosniak and Croat population throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, terror against civilians in Sarajevo through a long-lasting shelling and sniping and taking UNPROFOR members hostage.

The trial is due to continue tomorrow, when the next Prosecution witness will testify.
