Widows of Srebrenica and Muslim survivors of the 1995 massacre committed in the Bosnian town watch the live broadcast of the appeal verdict of former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic. Mladic was definitively sentenced by international justice to life imprisonment for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. IMAGES
Before his life sentence was announced, relatives of the Srebrenica massacre victims tearfully watched proceedings at The Hague as judges talked through the Bosnian Serb general's wartime offences. He was then convicted of genocide over the slaughter of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in July 1995. IMAGES
Bosnian victims and families say they are "partially satisfied" with a guilty verdict for former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic. IMAGES
Relatives of the ten shot dead in the 1971 "Ballymurphy massacre" arrive at a coroner's court in Belfast to hear the outcome of an inquest case. The ten people were killed at the height of "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland and relatives have maintained they were slain by British soldiers without reason. IMAGES
The Hague, Jul 16 (EFE), (Camera: Imane Rachidi).- Jaski Jaki Portegies Zwart was 23, Edo van der Berg 21 and Ben Stidge had just turned 18 when they arrived for the first time in Srebrenica as part of the United Nations group on an international mission. They felt untouchable — guardians of peace in a demilitarized territory. In 1995, they watched on powerlessly as 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were slaughtered by advancing Bosnian Serb troops.For 25 years, they and many other former soldiers have lived with the trauma of the worst massacre in Europe since World War Two. They’ve had to field accusations of cowardice as they fight the Dutch government in a legal battle in which they claim they were abandoned and ordered to go on a “suicide mission”.SOUNDBITES OF FORMER BLUE HELMETS BEN STIDGE (00:00-04:07) AND EDO VAN DER BERG AND (04:07-END).
