29.04.2013, 12:35
The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued the Decision in the case v. Mensur Memić et al. under which the custody of the accused Nihad Bojadžić is terminated due to the expiration of custody which has been previously ordered.

 

Under the Decision of the Preliminary Hearing Judge dated 30 April 2010, the accused Nihad Bojadžić was ordered into custody which may last no longer than three years from the confirmation of the Indictment, that is until 28 April 2013 or pending a new Decision of the Court. Bearing in mind the fact that custody of the accused Bojadžić can last until 28 April 2013,  and the fact that the first-instance Verdict has not yet been pronounced in this case, the Court found that all requirements prescribed under the Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been met to terminate custody of the accused.  

 

Nihad Bojadžić is charged with the criminal offense of War Crimes against Civilians and War Crimes against Prisoners of War.
