A former commander in the Kosovo Liberation Army was found guilty Friday of arbitrarily detaining and torturing prisoners perceived as supporters of Serbia during the country’s conflict to break away from Serbia, and murdering one of them.
Two years after his arrest and a year to the day after the beginning of his trial, former Kosovo Liberation Army commander Salih Mustafa heard the closing arguments before the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, in The Hague. He’s been accused of murder and torture committed in 1999 during the war that led to Kosovo’s independence from Serbia. It’s the first war crimes trial to be completed before the EU-sponsored court established in 2015.
