UN court orders medical review of jailed Bosnian Serb general Mladic amid release bid
The UN war crimes court has ordered an independent medical review of Ratko Mladic, the jailed Bosnian Serb general seeking early release on humanitarian grounds due to serious health issues. Mladic, 84, is serving a life sentence for genocide and crimes against humanity committed during the 1992–95 Bosnian war. The court must receive a health assessment by May 1 to evaluate his condition, life expectancy, and care standards. The decision follows a recent medical incident that required emergency care, though details were redacted.
