UK agrees to Radovan Karadžić prisoner transfer
The UK has agreed that Radovan Karadžić, convicted of the Srebrenica genocide, should be transferred to a UK prison to serve the rest of his sentence.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
Radovan Karadžić is one of the few people to have been found guilty of genocide. He was responsible for the massacre of men, women and children at the Srebrenica genocide and helped prosecute the siege of Sarajevo with its remorseless attacks on civilians.
We should take pride in the fact that, from UK support to secure his arrest, to the prison cell he now faces, Britain has supported the 30 year pursuit of justice for these heinous crimes.
