The UK has agreed Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic should be transferred to a British prison to serve the rest of his sentence for his role in the Srebrenica genocide, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said.
Former Bosnian Serb political leader Karadzic, 75, was convicted of war crimes during the Balkan conflict of the 1990s.
He was handed a life-sentence after 8,000 men and boys were massacred in the Srebrenica genocide. Mr Raab said Karadzic helped prosecute the siege of Sarajevo with its remorseless attacks on civilians .
He added: We should take pride in the fact that, from UK support to secure his arrest, to the prison cell he now faces, Britain has supported the 30-year pursuit of justice for these heinous crimes.
