Former Bosnian Serb army general Ratko Mladic appeared before the UN Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in The Hague today on charges of genocide. He is definitely not impressed by the war crimes with which he has been charged, using the words ‘obnoxious’ and ‘monstrous’ to describe some of them. Without a hint of irony. He was just defending his country, he said.
This raw video shows the court appearance of a distinctly frail Ratko Mladic, following his arrest yesterday in Serbia. Doctors are discussing whether the Bosnian Serb war crimes fugitive is fit for extradition. He sure isn’t a picture of health in this footage.
