Bosnian Serb iron lady jailed for 11 years

Biljana Plavsic, the former Bosnian Serb leader who expressed remorse for the horrors committed against non-Serbs during the Bosnian war, was today jailed for 11 years by the UN war crimes court.

Judge Richard May said Plavsic – known as the Iron Lady – participated in crimes of ”utmost gravity” during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia and that “undue lenience would be misplaced.”
