UN court ups Karadzic sentence to life for Bosnia genocide
UN judges have ordered former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic to spend the rest of his life in jail for the "sheer scale and systematic cruelty" of his crimes. The panel in The Hague rejected his appeal and upheld its conviction for genocide and war crimes.
Karadzic, 73, stood motionless and grim-faced in the dock as judges said they would increase his original 40-year sentence.
"There is still a sense of international justice," says Muhammed Durakovic, a survivor of the Screbrenica massacre in 1995 that was carried out under the orders of Karadzic and his henchmen. I was very pessimistic before this trial."
