Watch this interview with Emina Ganic

UPDATE Ejup Ganic has just had his bail refused. Do they think he's going to do a runner?? Also no access granted to his lawyers...why?? I thought that was a fundamental right!
So, Britain is in the middle of another political and diplomatic row. I'm not actually going to feel sorry for our government, since it's now pandering to the whims and cynical political aims of the ultra nationalist Serbian government.
Former Vice President of Bosnia, Ejup Ganic was arrested at Heathrow on March 1st a the 'request' of Serbian authorities based on an allegation of war crimes. If it wasn't so serious, I'd actually laugh. Serbia playing victim here?? Boy have they got a short memory...Srebrenica anyone? Kosovo?
Serbia is accusing Ejup Ganic alongside another 18/19 other Bosnians of ambushing a Yugoslav army convoy that was leaving Bosnian territory under UN supervision. 40 soldiers were killed.
The point is, the UN tribunals refused to Ejup Ganic based on insufficient evidence. This does not mean he managed to hide his crime, or that they could not find a direct link. If a person in this country is tried in a court of law for murder then the evidence and testimony must be absolute! No ifs, no buts...
It is very easy to sit in London in 2010 and forget what was happening to Bosnian Muslims during the Balkans conflict 18 odd years ago. They were being systematically ethnically cleansed...the thing we thought we'd never see again in Europe. Only now are Bosnians getting some redress in the form of the trials against Serbian war criminals. Radovan Karadzic is currently being tried, and trying very hard to turn this into a farce.
If Ejup Ganic is to be tried, it must be in the Hague and NOT SERBIA!!!...
