CAPTURE OF
RADOVAN KARADZIC IS FIRST STEP TOWARDS JUSTICE BEING DONE
Published: 22/07/2008 16:00
The
Ramadhan Foundation widely welcomes and celebrates the capture of
disgraced Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic in Belgrade last night.
The moment for justice has arrived for millions of Bosnian Muslims and
Croats who lost loved ones and saw them driven from their homes and
communities.
Mr.
Muhammad Umar, Chairman of the Foundation comments:
“Whilst celebrating his capture, we also remember with sadness and
sorrow the millions of victims of the Bosnian war, this was Europe’s 20th
century Holocaust and it was a matter of shame that Europe allowed this
massacre to go on under their noses.
I urge the Serbian Government to send him to The Hague immediately so
that he can be charged and put on trial for his murderous crimes, we
further urge increased work to capture the Serb military leader
Ratko Mladic so that victims can see justice done and this distressing
chapter of war crimes can be closed.
“We commend all those involved in his capture and look forward to his
appearance at The Hague.”
