Darko Mladić: Request to release Ratko Mladić for treatment in Serbia rejected

According to the convicted general's son, the Mechanism's reasoning is that it has the best possible doctors providing him with the best possible care, and these are the doctors who treated him for urinary tract infections after he had a stroke.

The Hague mechanism has rejected the defense's request that General Ratko Mladić be released for treatment in Serbia due to his serious health condition, his son Darko Mladić said today.

"The Hague Tribunal has, for the umpteenth time, shown that it deals with politics, not justice and law. Unfortunately, we were rejected," said Darko Mladić in a statement to the Srna agency.

According to him, the Mechanism's reasoning is that it has the best possible doctors providing him with the best possible care, which are the doctors who treated him for urinary infections after he had a stroke.

"These are doctors who failed to detect the stroke before he had a second stroke. This level of cynicism has become unbelievable at the Hague Tribunal," said Darko Mladić.

The Hague Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia previously rejected the request of former commander of the Army of Republika Srpska Ratko Mladić, sentenced to life imprisonment for the genocide in Srebrenica and war crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995, to release him on parole due to an incurable illness.
