Muere Ratko Mladic, el ‘carnicero de Bosnia’
El exgeneral serbobosnio, de 83 años, fue condenado en 2017 a cadena perpetua por el genocidio de Srebrenica
Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military chief known as the "Butcher of Bosnia", has died in a detention centre in The Hague, Netherlands. He was 83 years old and had been serving a life sentence for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Mladic was convicted for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, where 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were executed by Serb forces under his command. The 1992-1995 war in Bosnia left around 100,000 people dead and 2.2 million displaced.
According to El Pais, Mladic's state of health was delicate and he had several hospitalizations in recent times, having suffered several strokes. His lawyer and a UN spokesperson confirmed his death.
