Mladic put in regular cell at UN courts jail

June 16, 2011 16:46

No justice, it seems.

Former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic has been transferred to a regular cell at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal's detention unit after completing a battery of medical tests.

Martin Petrov, chief of the UN court's registrar's office, said Mladic "is now following the standard detention regime" for all suspects held in the cell block, which is housed inside a regular Dutch jail close to the North Sea coast.

That means being locked every night into a one-man, cell equipped with a computer -- without Internet access -- and a television that can air broadcasts from the former Yugoslavia.

During the day his cell is unlocked, allowing him to mingle with other inmates in his wing of the detention unit, cook meals, exercise and take classes in English and computing.

Cushy, considering he is responsible for the deaths of nearly 8000 Muslims. No rats to chew on his toes when he sleeps.
