'Butcher of Bosnia'
We have not yet forgotten the name of the notorious Serb general Ratko Mladic, dubbed the 'Butcher of Bosnia'. He masterminded the Srebrenica massacre, Europe's worst mass killing since world war II. More than 8000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were brutally killed after Bosnian Serb troops led by Mladic overran Srebrenica in July, 1995. He had recently been arrested and produced before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. In the tribunal, he has been charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of rules of war. Mladic is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison. We think life imprisonment is not sufficient a punishment for the heinous atrocities committed by this die-hard criminal. Only death sentence along with confiscation of all his properties may bring a little solace to the victim families. Md. Mohsin Ali, Nutan Courtpara, Kushtia
