Mladic trial adjourned over "irregularities" by prosecutors![]() May 17, 2012 - 16:35 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Yugoslav war crimes court on Thursday, May 17 adjourned the trial of former Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic, just a day after it opened, because of "irregularities" by prosecutors, AFP reports. "The hearing is adjourned sine die," presiding judge Alphons Orie said. "(The court) has decided to suspend the start of the presentation of the prosecution evidence." Orie said there were "irregularities" in the transfer of prosecution documents to the defense to enable it to prepare for the trial which opened in The Hague on Wednesday. Mladic, the so-called "Butcher of Bosnia" is charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide over the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia and in particular the Srebrenica massacre, the worst atrocity on European soil since World War II. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
