The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at The Hague (ICTY) finally got another N1 prisoner: on a warrant from The Hague, the former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has been arrested in Serbia.
There are conflicting reports about the circumstances of his arrest: some say he was arrested in Belgrade in the evening of July 18, and some that he was detained in the evening of the 21st. Karadzic’s lawyer claims he was detained on the 18th, kept in limbo without presenting any charges, denied a meeting with his lawyer in violation of procedural standards, and consequently his arrest is illegal and he should be set free. But that is immaterial. When such a person is arrested this is quibbling over details.
