Mladic back in court for genocide trial July 16, 2012 - 13:22 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic is back in court for his genocide trial at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal after recovering from a health scare that saw him rushed to the hospital last week. According to the Associated Press, the 70-year-old Mladic rose slowly from his chair in the courtroom Monday, July 16 as judges entered and then polished a pair of reading glasses as his attorney, Branko Lukic, resumed the cross-examination of a witness that was interrupted last Thursday when Mladic complained of feeling ill. Neither Lukic nor Presiding Judge Alphons Orie has said anything about Mladic's health. The tribunal released a statement Friday saying tests conducted at a Hague hospital showed Mladic was fit to stand trial. He faces 11 charges alleging he masterminded Serb atrocities throughout the Bosnian war. Mladic denies wrongdoing.
