THE BUTCHER - Ex-Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic imitates taking pictures as he sits in the defendant box prior to the hearing of the final verdict over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, Europe's worst act of bloodshed since World War II, on June 8, 2021 at the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) in The Hague.

The grey-haired Mladic briefly closed his eyes and shook his head when the Hague tribunal rejected Mladic's appeal against his 2017 life sentence for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity over the 1992-5 Bosnian war.
Dubbed the Butcher of Bosnia, the once burly general who is now in his late 70s sat impassively and listened to the judgement through headphones as it was read out by presiding judge Prisca Nyambe.
The appeals chamber affirmed the sentence of life imprisonment imposed on Mr Mladic by the trial chamber, the tribunal in The Hague said in a statement.
