"Mladic in isolation at UN detention unit; Judges reject delay request" by Mike Corder and Dusan Stojanovic, Associated Press / June 1, 2011
THE HAGUE — Former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic was placed in a UN detention unit yesterday to await trial on genocide charges, 16 years after he was indicted in the killing of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the worst massacre of civilians in Europe since World War II....
Mladic had spent 16 years on the run. When he was caught leaving his relative’s house for an early morning walk he was looking worn and disheveled. He was said to have suffered at least two strokes.
Earlier yesterday, Mladic was briefly released from his jail cell, traveling in a secret, armored convoy to a cemetery where he visited the grave of his daughter.
At the grave, he left a burning candle and a bouquet of flowers.
