Prosecutors appeal sentence for ex-Bosnian Serb leader

Prosecutors at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal have appealed against the 27-year sentence imposed on a former senior Bosnian Serb political leader, calling it “manifestly inadequate” and urging judges to imprison him for life.

Momcilo Krajisnik, 61, was convicted last month of five counts of war crimes, including persecution, extermination, and the murder of Muslims and Croats in the early stages of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war.
