Karadzic says no hope of fair trial after ‘media witch-hunt’

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has expressed concerns that a “media witch-hunt” will make it impossible for him to get a fair trial at a UN tribunal.

In a written submission to The Hague-based war crimes tribunal published on Friday, Karadzic said the media had already declared him a war criminal, and that it was “unimaginable to many people that this court could now acquit me,” a fact that he said, “jeopardizes the trial itself.”
