Bosnia's war crimes court appeals chamber jailed a Bosnian Muslim wartime commander for 10 years today (January 20, 2011) for instigating the killing of Croatian Serb soldiers in 1995, according to the Euro News website.
The chamber's president, Hilmo Vucinic, said it found Sefik Alic, an ex-deputy commander of a battalion operating under the Muslim-led Bosnian army Fifth Corps, guilty of failing to prevent the killings of Serb detainees by a soldier under his command.
"Alic is held responsible for inhumane treatment of four prisoners who had been arrested in August 1995 and for failing to report the killings to his superiors or take any action to have the perpetrators investigated and punished," Vucinic said.
Alic served in the Fifth Corps, which operated in western Bosnia, close to the border with Croatia.
