Bosnia’s Appellate Court has rejected the appeal to the 20-year prison sentence handed down to Radomir Susnjar for participating in mass killings in the eastern town of Visegrad during the war, his lawyer Dejan Bogdanovic told the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN).
Susnjar was sentenced in October 2019.
Along with other members of the Army of Republika Srpska, he illegally captured, robbed and imprisoned Bosniak civilians from the village of Koritnik in a house in Visegrad's Pionirska Street.
The house was then set ablaze, while the perpetrators shot at it to prevent those captured inside from escaping.
