Ratko Mladić, 'Butcher of Bosnia,' Dies at 84 in The Hague Prison
Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian Serb general convicted of genocide for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, has died at age 84 in a hospital in The Hague. He was serving a life sentence after being captured in 2011 and sentenced in 2017. His death follows years of declining health, including strokes, and has prompted a UN inquiry into the circumstances. While survivors and human rights groups emphasize the need for continued justice, some Serbian supporters still view him as a hero, highlighting ongoing divisions over the war's legacy.
