Former Bosnian Serb interior minister Mico Stanisic, sentenced to 22 years in prison by the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, has submitted a request for early release from prison in Poland.
The appeals chamber at the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague upheld the verdict sentencing former Bosnian Serb police officials Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin to 22 years in prison each.
The Hague Tribunal is to deliver its final verdict on former senior Bosnian Serb police officials Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin, who were previously convicted of persecuting non-Serbs.
Former interior minister Mico Stanisic asked the Hague Tribunal to quash his war crimes conviction because one of the judges, Frederik Harhoff, was removed from another case for alleged bias.
Testifying at the trial of Ratko Mladic, witness Nusret Sivac speaks about his detention in Omarska detention camp and the ethnic cleansing of the non-Serb population from Prijedor in 1992.
Radovan Karadzic agrees with the proposal made by Stojan Zupljanin to merge his indictment with the one against Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin, while the Hague Prosecution objects the proposal.
Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin deny the allegations contained in the new, merged indictment, which charges them with crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
