ZAGREB, Dec 11 (Hina) - The defence of Ante Furundzija will file a
complaint on a verdict by the International Criminal tribunal for
the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
The Tribunal sentenced Furundzija to 10 years in prison on
Thursday.
"We are shocked by Furundzija's sentencing to 10 years in prison,"
for charges of not having prevented abuse, "while the same court
council sentenced Drazen Erdemovic to five years in prison for
having killed at least 72 people," Furundzija's defence attorney
Luka Misetic exclaimed.
The verdict is surprising, especially in comparison to the
indictments and sentences received by Dusan Tadic, Esad Landza,
Drazen Erdemovic and Zdravko Mucic, Misetic said.
Furundzija was charged with the violation of war rights and customs
based on accusations that he had been present during acts of sexual
assaults and tortures, without having prevented these acts.
The ICTY judges concluded he had aided, by act or failure to prevent
the same, and thus become an accomplice to the crime.
