PRALJAK: BOSNIAN CROAT WAR CRIMINAL DIES AFTER TAKING POISON ON COURT

This news was posted on November 29^th, 2017 by the BBC newspaper. It is about the death of the Bosnian Croat war criminal, Praljak, who took poison in court, during an appeal hearing in The Hague.

According to the newspaper, Praljak was sentenced for crimes in Mostar during the Bosnian war in 2013, next to five more formers. On this day, it took place the final appeal judgment hearing where Praljak was sentenced for 20 years on jail because of the crimes he committed, which were crimes against humanity.

After he drunk the poison, he was immediately assisted by the medical staff and transported to a hospital, even though, he died.

OPINION:

From my point of view, I think that Praljak drinking the glass of poison is just a coward action. If he truly believed that he wasn’t a criminal, he wouldn’t drink poison, he wouldn’t give up on himself. Otherwise, he would go to jail and fight for his thoughts, but that’s impossible to do because even himself knew that he was such a big criminal.

When it comes to the crimes he committed, they are horrible. As far as I am concerned, one of the worsts wars was against Muslims. He destructed as many mosques as he could, leaving aside the city’s historic Old Bridge, and tortured them as bad as he could.

The problem I see in here is what now for the victims. Now that the ex-commander is dead, that doesn’t take away the pain people had suffered and all what they went through, for not talking about the losses of their loved ones.
