Ratko Mladic, Convicted Bosnian War Criminal, Dies in Prison at 83
Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military leader known as the "Butcher of Bosnia," has died at age 83 or 84 while serving a life sentence in The Hague for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. He was convicted for orchestrating the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, where around 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed. The 1992-1995 Bosnian War resulted in approximately 100,000 deaths and 2.2 million displaced. Appeals for Mladic's release due to poor health were rejected by the tribunal.
