The Defence of Suad Kapic, who has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for crimes committed in the Sanski Most area, will file an appeal with the third-instance chamber, which has the power to overturn the verdict.
Drastic revisions in prison sentences between first and second instances are either a sign that the appeal process if working well, or a sign that something is very wrong with the judicial system.
Representatives of the war crime strategy preparation working group do not want to speak about what will happen now that a working group member has resigned.
The Appellate Chamber has announced a second instance verdict against Nikola Andrun for his role in crimes at the Gabela detention camp in 1993.
After the completion of the retrial of Nikola Andrun, the Appellate Chamber revised the first instance verdict and sentenced him to 18 years' imprisonment.
The Bosnian court has ruled that Nikola Andrun, the former deputy warden of the Gabela detention camp, be jailed for 13 years for crimes against civilians.
Former members of HVO, who have appeared as defence witnesses, described Gabela as a civilian camp where inmates had plenty of food and were free on the weekends.
